Everywhere I travel in Asia Pacific, I see how people are more connected than ever before. Whether in a taxi in Singapore or a train in Bangkok, at the office in Mumbai or at home in Sydney, we have the tools and opportunities to stay in touch with our friends and colleagues anytime, from anywhere. And we expect the same when it comes to work — we want to work together from anywhere, using any device, with cloud-based tools that allow us to collaborate on the go. In fact, according to a Forrester survey, nearly half of all workers in Asia-Pacific say that they work from home at least a few times per month.* It’s a new way of working, where we can pick up where we left off no matter where we are, which ultimately makes us more productive.
On December 4th, we’re bringing together business leaders and technical experts to talk about this new way of working at Atmosphere Live Asia-Pacific, an entirely online experience. All you need to join is a comfortable seat, an internet connection and a computer, tablet or phone. You’ll be able to watch and learn from visionary speakers, interact with Google experts and ask questions — or, if want to join the conversation now, you can use our
social media visualizer to add your voice to the conversation.
Keynotes speakers include Sundar Pichai, SVP of Product Development, who will talk about bringing visionary products to market. Amit Singh, President of Google for Work, who will help you imagine what the future of work looks like. Breakout sessions will focus on business productivity, next generation cloud platforms, and mapping technologies for decision making. And forward-thinking customers like New South Wales Transport, Globe Telecom, Indiamart and Avago Technologies will share rich insights on subjects ranging from employee productivity to data visualization to workplace technology in the age of Cloud Computing.
We hope you’ll join us for one of our biggest work events of the year. So mark your calendars for December 4th and share your thoughts, impressions and questions using #atmosphere14 on social media. Register today and we’ll see you there.
