Expanding a global event experience
Working in partnership with Google on every Next event since 2017, we deliver a holistic web and mobile experience for attendees, but in 2020, we had to get creative as we pivoted to virtual – including features such as track selections, user directories, and a notification center. Now, every year, Google Next is a fully hybrid experience – delighting both virtual and in-person attendees.

Google Cloud wanted to provide an immersive experience for Next
To achieve a seamless and flexible event, Google needed robust session booking functionality, simple navigation for hundreds of speakers and sessions, a multi-channel livestream, and a mobile app.
Our Experience Design and Software Engineering teams partnered closely with Google to ensure that the solution proposed was executed as envisioned by immersing themselves in Google Cloud’s brand, products, design, and code standards. Nerdery’s commitment to Google’s standard for clean code as a baseline security measure helped us routinely pass security and accessibility tests.
Improved the attendee experience and increased attendance
By building a scalable digital experience that would delight users by showcasing personalized content, we helped assure a seamless, tailored attendee experience and even a rise in attendance. To get value over the long-term, our team ensured the product could be built upon every year to meet attendees’ changing needs.
