The Google Next 2019 agenda is packed with incredible speakers from a range of industries and backgrounds.

Google executives, marketers, and developers will be sharing the latest updates. Current Google Cloud and G Suite customers will give insights into how they’re using these products to accomplish amazing things.

And last but not least, industry analysts will offer their take on how these advances in technology are changing the nature of work.

Next ‘19 Speakers: Top Picks

You're going to meet many amazing people at Google Next who work in tech, healthcare, education, finance, and more. Of course, this being Google's big annual event, there will also be hundreds of speakers sharing their insights and experiences.
