Google Cloud Next 2027

Google Cloud Next is Google Cloud's flagship conference, and the 2027 edition returns to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from 13 to 15 April 2027, with some programming on 12 April. Registration, prices and the agenda had not been published when we checked; the official site offers a sign-up for registration news. The 2026 edition gives a fair picture of the scale and content: Google says more than 32,000 people attended, choosing from over 700 breakouts plus keynotes, spotlight sessions, hands-on labs, workshops, hackathons and developer livestreams. For operations and platform teams the useful material sat in the GKE and Cloud Run sessions, the AI assistance built into gcloud, kubectl and Terraform workflows, cost tooling for FinOps teams, and the security programme built around Mandiant and Wiz. There is no public call for papers. Keynotes are livestreamed, and after the 2026 event the keynotes and sessions were free on demand in the session library, opening to the public without a login 60 days later. For reference, early-bird full passes for Next '26 were $999. Choose it if your workloads run on Google Cloud or GKE and you want roadmap detail straight from the product teams.
