Google Cloud Next 2026 is headed to Las Vegas—April 22–24, 2026 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center—and it’s shaping up to be a must-attend event for teams modernizing infrastructure and putting AI into production. With a spotlight on enterprise AI, cloud-native app development, and Gemini-powered agentic AI, Next is the place to see where cloud innovation is heading—and what it means for your roadmap.
From the NetApp booth #1607 in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, we’re bringing you the latest technology, hands-on demos, live in-booth sessions, expert solutions, and free giveaways. Discover how NetApp and Google Cloud can help you reduce costs by up to 70% and improve the way you do business. We’re also presenting a 20-minute Lightning Talk session, hosting more than 25 mini-theater sessions in our booth, sponsoring an exclusive customer and partner reception on April 21 at the Sphere, and hosting a partner happy hour on April 22. Learn how NetApp can power agentic AI with your enterprise data, accelerate EDA workloads, reduce enterprise database costs, and help you easily migrate to Google Cloud.
Whether you’re looking to modernize infrastructure, accelerate AI initiatives, or simplify cloud migration, we’d love to connect in Las Vegas.
