For decades, Google Cloud has supported scientific and technical computing for researchers, developers, and engineers across industry, academia, and government labs. With recent major investments in HPC infrastructure and AI, Google Cloud aims to be the most comprehensive, capable, and accessible platform for scientific discovery and technical computing. Join us at in person at Google NYC to learn more about our commitment to this mission, explore our newest infrastructure, and see how Google Cloud can accelerate your organization's innovation and productivity.

9:00 AM - 5:15 PM
Google Cloud offers supercomputing class capabilities for the most demanding workloads, flexible consumption models to optimize costs as well as time-to-solution, and advanced AI models, tools, agents, and applications that accelerate innovation and discovery.
This intensive, full-day workshop has three parts:
Part 1, for those new to Google Cloud (may be skipped by experienced GCP users), will show attendees how to get started with using Google Cloud: understanding and setting up projects, using the cloud console, etc.
Part 2 will show how to choose the most appropriate capabilities for different workloads, and how to use Google Cloud capabilities most effectively by optimizing for time-to-insight, cost, and other constraints. We will split this part into tracks based on verticals/domains (e.g. healthcare/life sciences, etc) with relevant example codes, workflows, solutions, and guidance.
Part 3 will show how to use Google’s latest AI technologies to optimize scientific/technical work, develop and optimize code, and analyze data.
Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, attendees will learn how to utilize all these technologies to maximize their productivity and transform their scientific research, engineering development, and business productivity.

We invite customers and potential customers of Google Cloud to meet with experts for confidential 1-hour meetings at Google NYC to discuss our capabilities, future plans and directions, and customers' confidential requirements and requests. These confidential customer meetings require signed mutual NDA documents, scheduling, and desired Google topics for discussion so that we can match Google experts and NDA information to customers’/potential customers’ interests and needs. This is an excellent opportunity to optimize current usage for optimization and discuss future plans.
Contact us if you do not have a current Google NDA.
