HostingCon Announces the Theme For This Years Conference

(Gawkwire.com) - HostingCon, the premier conference and trade show for the web hosting and hosted services industry, today announced the theme for HostingCon 2010 in Austin, Texas: Piloting Into the Cloud - Setting a Course for the Future.

"Without a doubt, the Cloud is the 800-pound gorilla applying market pressure and likewise opening new opportunities within the industry," stated Kevin Gold, the Chariman of HostingCon 2010. "Whether a company decides to go up, around, through or beneath it, one way or another, companies must strategically confront the Cloud and set a plan in motion for how to compete."
