Hi Google Workspace Community,
We’re excited to announce that we’re partnering with the Google Cloud Innovators program to create a more unified and comprehensive user experience amongst our community programs - for developers and cloud practitioners to learn, get help, and connect globally.
Whether you’re just starting out on your cloud/dev journey or just need easy access to tools and information to expand on your knowledge, this partnership offers you the community and resources you need for a strong foundation and continuous growth, with access to new benefits, including:
- A more comprehensive user experience
In a previous announcement, we shared that Innovators will receive a special verification icon when participating in the Google Cloud Community. This verified status icon will help you stand out to potential employers and clients, take the guesswork out of finding experts and connecting with your peers, and it will also give you access to exclusive events, opportunities, and resources as you climb the community ranks.
The verified status icons - recognizing Innovators, Champion Innovators, and Innovators Plus members - are now live! Learn more here. - Triple the learning opportunities
Learn the latest product updates and best practices from Developer Advocates and Champion Innovators in our expanded digital event series. We’ve tripled our live events to give you more opportunities to ask questions and get hands-on experience with Google Cloud technologies, no matter the time zone or language.
See our upcoming Workspace Events here and let us know if there’s a topic you want us to cover in the comments. - The latest Google Cloud news right in your inbox, weekly
Access The Overwhelmed Person’s Guide to Google Cloud, a weekly newsletter written just for Innovators by Forrest Brazeal to help you more easily stay up-to-date on the latest information and navigate all that’s happening in the cloud. - Be recognized for your contributions
With your verified status icons, we can more easily see and recognize you for the impact you’re making through your Community forum activity, contributions to the knowledge base, or when you’re participating or leading a Community event. This will make it easier to offer you custom rewards and opportunities to help you reach your goals even faster with Google Cloud.
As a Community team, we’re thrilled to announce this new partnership with the Innovators program, as we see it maximizing the value we can provide for you - our valued community members - as you work towards achieving your goals in the cloud.
