We recently announced a new goal of equipping more than 40 million people with Google Cloud skills. To help achieve this goal, we’re hosting Cloud Learn from Dec. 8-9 (for those in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, the event will be from Dec. 9-10 and for those in Japan, you can access the event here), a no-cost digital training event for developers, IT professionals, and data practitioners at all career levels. The interactive event will have live technical demos, Q&As, career development workshops, and more covering everything from Google Cloud fundamentals to certification prep.

Here’s a more in-depth look at what to expect from Cloud Learn:

Hear from Google Cloud executives and customers 

Thomas Kurian, Google Cloud’s CEO, and I will kick off the first day by discussing how you can uplevel your career. The second day will begin with technical leaders from Twitter, Lloyds Banking Group, and Ingka Group Digital speaking with John Jester, our vice president of customer experience, about the impact of Google Cloud training and certifications they’ve seen in their organizations. 

Afterwards, you can choose from role-based tracks and join the training sessions most relevant to you.
