Despite our disappointment at the cancellation of our fourth annual ImageCon conference in late April due to the pandemic, we forged on and are thrilled to announce a digital version of ImageCon on Monday July 27 through the 30th, an excellent forum for learning from our customers, partners, and colleagues. The new digital format will deliver much of the same Visual Web-related content planned for April along with new additions, featuring five interactive sessions by renowned experts in the media sector. Each session will be about 30 minutes long, during which you can ask the speakers questions live and “get on stage.” Also, you can watch the sessions on demand afterwards.

It’s no secret that visual storytelling matters. And for brands, it’s a requirement. In fact, brands themselves really are the manifestation of the stories they tell. They don’t sell products; they sell stories.

The program provides nonprofits with discounted access to Cloudinary’s different media management solutions that can be used by developers, marketers and creative professionals alike.

Today, dozens of nonprofit organizations rely on Cloudinary to tell their visual stories and better connect with their audiences. And we’re looking forward to helping many more organizations that need the help, especially as visual media becomes increasingly critical for building meaningful engagement.

We at Cloudinary are excited to host the third annual ImageCon conference on May 1-2 in San Francisco. This year’s event will feature practical hands-on workshops and enlightening talks by thought leaders along with plenty of networking opportunities.

Last month we unveiled a refresh of our website. As with all redesigns, there were numerous drivers behind the rollout. First and foremost, we’re a company that understands the power of visual storytelling, and the ways in which a website must beautifully and clearly convey a brand’s story and offerings. Our website needed to better reflect our brand and our solutions. This post highlights some of the thinking behind our changes.

On April 12, 2018, Cloudinary hosted its second annual ImageCon conference, which brought together more than 200 professionals from developers to architects to designers to executives. We had two main goals for this year’s ImageCon: shine a light on interactive media through presentations by leading industry experts and foster an open exchange of media-related best practices and ideas among the attendees.
