Planning on attending Structure 08 - Put Cloud Computing to Work? The conference, which was developed by GigaOM and created to “inform businesses so they can plan their future computing infrastructure needs,” is being held June 25 at the Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco.

GigaOM confirmed Structure 08 will host the first workshop on Google’s App Engine, their cloud service. The Google team will lead attendees through the App Engine system with a focus on what opportunities it opens up for entrepreneurs and hackers. Microsoft, which hosted a Lunch 2.0 event here in San Diego last Friday (check out the photos in our Flickr stream), will also run a workshop, but details on that content are not yet available.

Topics the conference will cover include:

  • Cloud and Grid Computing
  • Next generation Content Delivery Networks
  • Peer-to-peer
  • Low cost supercomputing
  • Virtualization
  • Next Generation Databases
  • Web Services
  • Software as a Service
  • High Bandwidth Services

If you register before April 30, take note of GigaOM’s 10% discount if you register using its Facebook group member code (FBSAVER).

Let us know if you’re planning to attend. Even better, let us know if you are interested in setting up a local San Diego meetup or seminar on Cloud Computing or the new Google App Engine. We would be happy to promote the event.
