Google Cloud Summit Johannesburg 2026 — Leaders Connect

Google Cloud Summit Johannesburg brings the company's enterprise roadshow to South Africa, and the Leaders Connect track is its executive-facing core — an invitation-style programme for the leaders deciding how AI gets adopted across their organisations. The summit framing is squarely on generative and agentic AI: how Gemini and Google Cloud's AI platform translate into governed deployments, where the value is, and how to navigate security and data readiness.

For attendees, the draw is a concentrated day of keynotes, demos and peer conversation in the region's largest tech market, with Google Cloud product specialists on hand and customer stories grounding the AI narrative in real African deployments. It's a leadership-and-strategy event rather than a hands-on lab, so the audience skews CIO, architect and senior engineering. Registration via the Google Cloud events page; a strong Sub-Saharan Africa entry for the directory.
