The Foundation also anticipates 1,000 attendees next month at the 2017 European Summit in Basel, Switzerland (October 11-12) at the Congress Center Basel.

"After the huge success in Silicon Valley this year, we are spreading our community east with deep technology-focused keynote content, developer-centric tracks and the only available in-person Cloud Foundry developer certification," said Abby Kearns, Executive Director, Cloud Foundry Foundation. "For anyone serious about cloud-native technologies, this will be the place to be."
