The San Francisco-based Google Cloud Next conference, which celebrates developers who build on the Google Cloud, grew to 25,000 attendees in 2018—a massive jump from 11,500 people the year prior. The design-forward conference aims to promote networking and collaboration. “We look to fill every learning space with surprise and delight photo moments—color and creativity is a great catalyst for engagement,” says creative director Philip McDougall.
