The IEEE Cloud Summit provides a unique international forum for researchers, industrial partners, and funding agents to present cutting-edge research and best practices, and to exchange ideas and views on the current technical trends and challenges related to Cloud, Fog, Internet of Things, and Edge Computing as well as their applications for societal benefit.

The conference is mainly composed of three components of Research Track, Industry Forum, and Agency Panels. In the Research Track, original works of research papers and posters will be selected by a committee of research experts and organized into on-site technical sessions and presentations. In the Industry Forum, industry partners will share the latest information on recent developments, trends, management practices, new products, technologies, and methodologies. And in the Agency Panels, the conference will invite funding agencies from NSF, DoD, AFRL, and top-tier academic researchers to highlight their valuable visions and insights.

In 2023, the IEEE Cloud Summit will be technically sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Cloud Computing (TCCLD), National Science Foundation (NSF), and many long-term industrial partners. The conference will be managed by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), and hosted in the Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) area.
