CloudFest Americas and NamesCon have announced a new round of featured attendees ahead of their joint event, set for November 11 to 12, 2026, in Miami. The organizers frame the gathering around a shift already underway across the internet economy, where AI is driving demand, infrastructure is scaling under pressure, and digital identity has become both more valuable and more contested.
According to the announcement, policy, security and market forces are all adding uncertainty at the same time, and the event aims to bring together the people building the next phase of the internet rather than simply reacting to it. Organizers describe the audience as operators, investors, builders and decision-makers looking to align on what comes next.
The latest featured attendees reflect that mix. Diederik Sjardijn, chief commercial officer at Openprovider, joins Guillermo Garcia, chief executive of 1of1 Servers, along with Khalid Saleem, co-founder of Sepia Solutions, and German Alberto Triana Delgado, founder and chief executive of Enithgma SAS. Each brings a different angle on the hosting and domain industry, from registrar operations to server infrastructure and emerging ventures.
The event carries the backing of WebPros, a company whose portfolio already touches much of the infrastructure layer the conference aims to discuss. Pairing CloudFest Americas with NamesCon also signals an attempt to bring hosting, domains and infrastructure conversations under one roof, rather than splitting them across separate gatherings the way the industry has often done.
For attendees, the appeal likely sits less in any single session and more in the chance to compare notes directly with the people running these companies day to day. Conferences built around infrastructure and domains tend to live or die on that kind of access, since the technical shifts organizers describe, AI-driven demand, scaling pressure and identity disputes, are the same issues founders are already managing inside their own businesses.
Registration for the Miami event is open at https://cloudfest.com/americas/tickets/. Whether CloudFest Americas and NamesCon can turn their combined lineup into the kind of cross-industry alignment they’re promising will likely become clearer once the event itself gets underway in November.
