What Will Google Announce at Cloud Next 2024?

Google probably won't make any product announcements at Cloud Next. The event is more of a conference that allows developers a chance to learn, network, and collaborate.

According to Google, Cloud Next is:

[O]ur global exhibition of inspiration, innovation, and education. It’s where decision-makers, developers, and anyone passionate about an accessible, scalable, socially responsible cloud come together to share challenges, solutions, 10x ideas, and game-changing technologies.

At Google Cloud Next 2022, Google did make some announcements, although most of them were infrastructure-based and not really of interest at the consumer level. Among the things the company revealed are:

  • Expansion of Google Cloud into Austria, Greece, Norway, South Africa, and Sweden.
  • Custom emojis in Google Chat, Meet, and Voice.
  • A timeline view in Google Sheets.
  • AI functionality across Google Cloud.

Casual users of Google products won't find much news at Google Cloud Next. However, since Google Cloud runs the company's online apps like Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and Slides, we may see some updates to those platforms.
