The three things
- 1
Strategic outcome
Reinforce Google’s position with top-tier press and partners ahead of Think — set the tone for the week’s storytelling.
- 2
Risk that matters most right now
No critical risks flagged. Watch project burn velocity at the next weekly review — the early signals will surface there first.
- 3
Decision needed from execs
Approve the elevated guest list (250 → 280) before invitations send Friday.
250 high-touch guests across press, partners, and existing client leadership. Tone-setter for the surrounding partner conference — designed for visibility and relationship-warming over deep content.
Success looks like
- Attendance % vs invite list and quality-of-mix score
- Press / partner mentions in the 7 days following
- NPS from invited attendees
