Join Us for the Exclusive Next '26 Afterparty

There is a distinct momentum that builds as we kick off a massive week at Next—and the best way to keep that energy going is to take the conversation off the expo floor. Join 66degrees, dbt Labs and Fivetran at Eyecandy Bar & Lounge for the premier networking event of Google Cloud Next '26.

Now in its fourth year, our Google Cloud Next Afterparty has become the go-to spot for leaders to connect after the first day's sessions in a relaxed, high-energy setting. Trade your conference badge for an evening of premium hospitality and set the tone for the rest of your week with the best community in the Google Cloud ecosystem.

Google Cloud Next Afterparty Details:

• Date: Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026
• Time: 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM PST
• Location: Eyecandy Lounge, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

What You Can Expect:

Unplugged Networking: Connect with over 600 CxOs, data leaders, and Google Cloud experts. This is the space to step away from the sessions and have real conversations with peers who are navigating the same transformational shifts you are.

‍Premium Hospitality: Take a break from the standard conference circuit with a full open bar and great food. We’ve lined up a live DJ to keep the energy up, creating a space that’s lively enough for Vegas but comfortable enough to actually talk.

‍Location, Location, Location: Don't worry about trekking across town. We’re hosting at Eyecandy, located right in the center of the Mandalay Bay casino. It’s a short, easy walk from the convention center, making it the perfect final stop for your Wednesday.
