Can I attend Mandiant Community Connect without joining the Summit?
Yes, you can attend the Mandiant Community 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.
When and where does the Mandiant Community Connect take place?
The Mandiant Community Connect begins at 9:30 AM in Studio 1, located within the same venue as the Google Cloud Summit DACH (Messe Frankfurt, Hall 3). After the check-in and admission, please follow the signs for Studio 1.
Do I need separate badges for the Mandiant Community Connect and the Summit?
No — your Summit badge grants access to both Mandiant Community 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.
