I have not mentioned the Cloud City Meetup on the blog before, because it was an in-person series of events in Seattle (and hopefully will be again). But amid these extraordinary/unprecedented/infectious/portentous/etc. times, we’re overdue to go virtual and open up to a worldwide audience.
Cloud City is Seattle’s nickname, owning both to the weather and its position as the de facto capital city of cloud computing. The goal of the meetup is to cross-pollinate interesting cloud projects and perspectives both within and beyond Seattle. The new virtual format will be a series of online conversations with today’s leaders and tomorrow’s pioneers who are advancing the frontier.
Our first two online events have been scheduled and start next week. Each will be an hour long with 45 minutes of conversation and 15 minutes of Q&A.
October 21, noon Pacific Time – A Conversation with Eugenio Pace, co-founder and CEO of Auth0
Eugenio has quietly built Auth0 and its identity platform into one of the biggest startups headquartered in the Seattle area. We’ll talk to Eugenio about what it takes to build a business serving developers, how Auth0 encouraged remote work from its inception, and how identity in the cloud will evolve.
Eugenio Pace co-founded Auth0 in early 2013 with CTO and “brother-in-arms” Matias Woloski while living 7,000 miles apart. Since then, Pace has played an instrumental role in growing Auth0 into a leading identity management company that is loved by developers and trusted by global enterprises. With more than 9,000 customers spanning 70 countries, and securing 4.5 billion login transactions per month, auth0 is a trusted global brand that is relied upon for making identity simple and protecting the data of its customers and their users.

November 11, noon Pacific Time – A Conversation with Diego Oppenheimer, co-founder and CEO of Algorithmia
Diego and the team at Algorithmia are focused on putting machine learning models into production, with infrastructure to help deploy, scale, and manage models across the full lifecycle. We’ll talk to Diego about the state of machine learning deployment in the real world, how to think about machine learning in hybrid cloud topologies, and play “overrated or underrated?” with the much-discussed algorithm behind TikTok.
Previously, Diego designed, managed, and shipped some of Microsoft’s most used data analysis products including Excel, Power Pivot, SQL Server, and Power BI. Diego holds a Bachelors’ degree in Information Systems and a Master’s degree in business Intelligence and Data Analytics from Carnegie Mellon University.
