We’re less than two weeks away from Google Cloud Next, October 12-14, 2021, our flagship event that brings the cloud community together for insights, product launches, and to see the latest tech in action. At Next ‘21, you’ll find the tools and training you need to succeed in the cloud, with live, expert-led Q&As, breakout sessions, immersive demos, and real-world use cases for Google Cloud and Google Workspace. This year, you can personalize your experience by building custom playlists, and set reminders and calendar notifications to make sure you don’t miss out.
