About the Session
As 2025 comes to a close, we are actively charting the course for our Google Cloud HPC and advanced computing solutions, and the Google Cloud Advanced Computing Community programming for 2026. To do this, we want to hear directly from our customers, partners, and the larger HPC community!
Join us for a special, interactive end-of-year town hall designed to put your voice at the center of our planning. This is your open forum to:
Share your vision for Google Cloud HPC solutions: what new features, integrations, or services would best accelerate your research and development?
Suggest community programming for the year ahead: what topics, speakers, or tutorial formats would you find most valuable?
Ask your questions directly to leaders from the Google Cloud HPC team!
This session is all about listening to your ideas, challenges, and recommendations. Bring your feedback and help us define the future of advanced computing at Google Cloud.
