The three-day annual event will see industry luminaries delivering keynotes while giving attendees the opportunity to learn from top Google developers and industry leaders and how the world's leading companies are solving their biggest challenges in the cloud.

"Explore dynamic content across all learning levels, and dive deep into technologies and solutions spanning the Google Cloud and Google Workspace portfolio through breakout sessions, demos, and hands-on training. We'll have opportunities to engage with ecosystem partners, connect with experts, and expand your knowledge," Google wrote in a blog post.

Registration for the Google Cloud Next '21 event will open later this year.

To recall, the 2020 conference - Google Cloud Next '20: OnAir - took place as the first nine-weeks digital event series in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
