C2E

C2E is an acronym that can refer to multiple different concepts, organizations, or event names. It is not tied to a single canonical meaning, and the intended expansion depends on the domain and context.

In computing and networking, C2E commonly stands for Cloud-to-Edge, a model that extends cloud services toward edge devices to reduce latency and enable real-time processing. Implementations may involve edge gateways, Internet of Things devices, and cloud platforms. Benefits include lower latency, improved responsiveness, and offline capabilities in some scenarios, while challenges include security, governance, and management across distributed environments.

In film and video production, C2E can denote Capture-to-Edit, a workflow description describing the sequence from capturing footage to editing and post-production. The term is used in planning and production documentation to emphasize the path media travels from on-set capture through the editing process.

In events and organizations, C2E appears as an acronym within branding or shorthand for conferences and expos. It is sometimes associated with larger, similarly named events (for example, C2E2, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo). Because there are variations in spelling and numerals, readers should consult the specific source to determine the intended meaning in a given context.
