We’re glad to share that Open Channels FM is partnering with CloudFest USA this year. Some of our hosts will be in Miami on November 5 and 6, connecting with attendees and catching what’s going on in the cloud and hosting world.
What’s CloudFest USA?
CloudFest started as a small get together of around a hundred people and grew into one of the biggest festivals for cloud and hosting professionals. The US version is happening at Miami’s Ice Palace Studios in November 2025. It blends keynotes, panels, workshops, a hackathon, social events, and even a server throwing competition. It is a space where people in the cloud industry share ideas, build connections, and have a bit of fun along the way.
Our sponsors keeps our network independent and actively publishing.

Since 2005, Automattic has built tools for the open web including WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and Jetpack that are used by millions of people to create, sell, and publish online. They believe in ownership, flexibility, and open source and we’re grateful for their support. Learn more at automattic.com.
