VIEW LAST YEAR'S EVENT — CLOUDNY
Battery and FirstMark started the CloudNY summit to help CEOs navigate the shift to cloud, and empower them with critical relationships and lessons for building generational companies.
As this iconic summit enters its 10th year, we find ourselves in the midst of an even more consequential platform shift as we enter the AI era. For that reason, we are thrilled to be evolving CloudNY to meet the moment and become AI NY.
