We are at a turning point in technology that is reshaping every industry. For leaders in the DACH region, the imperative is to turn the potential of AI into a decisive competitive advantage, with speed, innovation, and Digital Sovereignty as the key strategic pillars.
Google Cloud invites a select group of C-level peers to join a strategic exchange on how to lead in this transformation. To host this conversation, we have secured exclusive access to a truly iconic venue: the DFB-Campus in Frankfurt, home of German football.
During a focused four-hour program from 04:00 PM – 08:00 PM, you will:
- Dive into thought-provoking content on the AI imperative and Digital Sovereignty
- Hear directly from Google’s world-renowned AI research lab, DeepMind
- Get hands-on with Notebook LM and experience our latest AI capabilities for yourself
The afternoon concludes with our 2026 World Cup Signature BBQ, a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer networking before our 20:00 departure.
Participation is limited to ensure a valuable executive exchange, so we encourage early registration. Your confirmed ticket also includes full access to the Google Cloud Summit DACH on June 9 & 10.

FAQs
Can I attend Leaders Connect without joining the Summit?
Yes, you can attend the Leaders Connect as a standalone event. However, please note that the keynote takes place earlier at the Summit (Messe Frankfurt), and we highly recommend attending both for the full experience.
A shuttle service is provided from the Summit to the Leaders Connect. If you plan to join the Leaders Connect directly, please arrange your own transportation, as shuttles operate from the Summit location only.
When and where does the Leaders Connect take place?
The Leaders Connect starts at 4:00 PM at the DFB Campus — a separate venue from the Google Cloud Summit DACH, which takes place at Messe Frankfurt (Hall 3). Following the keynote, a shuttle bus will take you comfortably to the venue. After Leaders Connect, return shuttles will bring you back to the Summit to join Cloud Night.
Please note: There is no parking available at the DFB Campus.
How much time should I plan for the transfer?
Please allow approximately 30 minutes for the transfer between the Summit and the Leaders Connect. Shuttle departure times will be communicated on-site. We recommend arriving at the Summit in time for the keynote to ensure a smooth transition.
Do I need separate badges for the Leaders Connect and the Summit?
No — your Summit badge grants access to both Leaders Connect and the Google Cloud Summit across both days (June 9–10). Please keep your badge with you at all times, as it is required for entry to all sessions, venues, and shuttle services.
