What's It All About?

The Unikernels and More: Cloud Innovators Forum (aka CIF16) is an event sponsored by the Xen Project which will highlight some of the newest technologies for virtualization and the cloud, with a special focus on Unikernels. Unikernels are small and fast, like containers, but much more secure. Xen Project continues to facilitate the development of Unikernels to power the next generation of cloud.

This event follows in the path of the 2015 Unikernel User Summit and the 2015 Innovation in the Cloud Conference.

Who Should Attend?

CIF16 is for users who want to peer over the next horizon in computing. We are bringing together some of the most interesting technologies into one room for one day at SCALE, the largest community-run Open Source conference in North America. You don't need to be a developer or hardcore geek to benefit from this event. And if you are a total novice when it comes to Unikernels, you'll fit in just fine. All you need is an interest in the future of our industry.
