Overall the conference was not very technical and was characterized by an obsessive focus on generative AI. It unfortunately obscured a lot of the good work that people have done at Google.
For example, there was an excellent talk on work to forecast flood levels in United States rivers by mapping NOAA hydraulic data as time series data in BigQuery. I'm interested in this particular topic and found that single talk worth the trip to Las Vegas. The talk title was "Channel the flood data deluge: Unlocking the American National Water Model". [1] I hope a recording will be available soon.
