Today we have a special interview recorded from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, which last week was home of Google Cloud Next 2024.

During our conversation, we covered a lot of ground, taking in all of the announcements from Next, reflecting on the upcoming two-year birthday of Google Public Sector and what’s been accomplished in that time, how generative AI is permeating the public sector, and what’s ahead.
