Did you attend AWS re:invent, Microsoft Ignite or Build?

As we gear up for planning Google Cloud Next '23, our team is actively looking for additional opportunities to bring more value to the experience for our attendees, both in person as well as digitally around the globe.

For any of you who are multi-cloud and may have attended AWS re:invent, Microsoft Ignite or Build, or any other tech conference that uniquely gave you the value you expected or maybe even more based on the time and expense you invested to attend... what were the top 2-3 parts of the experience that made it most valuable for you personally? For your team or company, if different?

We want to find new elements of the program, content & experience we should be considering for Google Cloud Next in 2023 and beyond wherever possible, so your feedback is a direct line into that planning process. 

Thanks for any & all feedback you can provide.

I attended all 3 😁 

But virtually 😅

And found all three of you are just awsome 😀, now all the top three cloud providers provide free training and hands on labs along with theoretical knowledge and most of that, everyone is working on metaworld so I just found you all three to be the best technology in changing the future.

All the best. Future is going to be techies world.

Hi,
All the three top cloud providers GCP, AWS, Microsoft are good and provides ample option self-learn.
Microsoft Ignite had the recordings available for who were not able to attend Live sessions and not to mention 100% free vouchers for Microsft Learn pages completion and Sandbox account any time create and test knowledge
AWS re-Invent gave credits that i could apply to account. Also exam voucher and recorded live sessions. 
The unique point on the above 2 cloud service providers is for learning account, there is no credit us process with Sandbox account
GCP has good trivia challenges and time to time sawgs and time to time promotion to complete challenges, also promotion for us to get credits & Skil-badges. However since many of us have started working in organisations, so considered as working professionals, what options are available from GCP for Partners to get trained free and certification credits to Partners. I am aware of the 500$USD Partner kickstart program, but apart from that is there some blogs which has links to other blogs that define such. Also both Azure and AWS has sepecialisation certification for SAP-workloads like Azure-speciality AZ-120, AWS-speciality PAS-C01, GCP does not yet have certification on SAP-workloads management.
Also please pardon me, I am new to GCP and still exploring. Please let know if i misinterpreted something or if there are better ways and blogs that define them so i can learn and will try to spread the great news accordingly
Thanks,
Kaushik
