From keynote to the terminal: Join our Next ‘26 developer livestreams

The main stage at Google Cloud Next is where the vision is set. This year, we’re bridging the gap between those massive “Cloud-scale” announcements and your local terminal.

We are thrilled to announce the Next ‘26 developer livestreams, a daily broadcast live from the show floor at Google Cloud Next. We aren’t just reporting the news, we’re deconstructing it into actionable demos and immediate workflows before the keynote seats are even cold.

What to expect

  • Real-time demos that turn inspiration into versioning.

  • Energy from the show floor delivered straight to your screen.

  • Interviews with the builders, community leaders, and disruptors moving at light speed.

Schedule

Day 1: From the Next ‘26 main stage to the terminal
When: Wednesday, April 22, beginning at 11 AM PT

Immediately following the opening keynote host Jason Davenport kicks things off with special guests including Acquired’s Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal to get their reaction to the day’s announcements. Then we dive into the hardware and platforms powering the next wave of AI with Addy Osmani, Shubham Saboo, Philip Kelly of Baseten, Yasmeen Ahmad, and other surprise guests. 

Day 2: Next ‘26 Developer keynote deep-dive 
When: Thursday, April 23, beginning at 12 PM PT

Fresh off the Developer Keynote, we’re taking the tech to the terminal. We’ll be live-coding agentic workflows and testing new announcements in real-world scenarios.

Host Stephanie Wong will sit down with Michele Catasta (President & Head of AI at Replit). We’ll also feature a “hot off the press” breakdown with Google Cloud’s Sarah Kennedy and Ricky Robinett, plus a security deep dive with Ankur Kotwal and Wiz’s Salman Ladha. And hear from LangChain’s Harrison Chase, and conversations with Googlers Kevin Moore and Ines Envid, and more!
