# G Suite, Apps Script and App Maker posts from Google Next '19

I was unfortunately unable to attend Google Cloud Next ‘19 this year because of other work commitments. Attending last year was a great opportunity to both hear and discover what was going on in the world of G Suite, Apps Script and App Maker. Fortunately my fellow Experts have been busy sharing their discoveries so I thought worthwhile sharing a post of posts.

## Ben Collins - Google Sheets and data

First we have Ben Collins’ [Next ‘19 Live Blog notes](https://www.benlcollins.com/general/google-next-19/) which is a great summary of sessions Ben attended. Given Ben’s interest in data this is supplemented with a [Google Sheets Sessions From Cloud Next ’19 Conference](https://www.benlcollins.com/spreadsheets/recap-next-19/), which highlights 6 sessions/announcements: - 30 Ways Google Sheets Can Help Your Company Uncover and Share Data Insights

## Romain Vialard - Metadata in Google Drive and more news

Romain has posted a overview of [Metadata in Google Drive and more news from Google Next](https://medium.com/@romain.vialard/metadata-in-google-drive-and-more-news-from-google-next-97b7dc58e0b3). As part of this Romain provides his summary of sessions focused on Google Drive: - New Features for Collaboration in Drive

Romain’s post also provides a useful summary of other Google Drive developments/announcements. ## Stéphane Giron - All Google G Suite Beta programs from Google Next ’19

Stéphane has a great [summary of the G Suite Beta programs with links for signing up](https://medium.com/@stephane.giron/all-google-g-suite-beta-programs-from-google-next-19-60c2772a9c0f) (this are usually spread across G Suite product sites so great work from Stéphane to pull these together). In Stéphane’s post you’ll find more info/links for beta programs for: - G Suite Add-ons
- Hangouts Chat accelerated program
- Connected Sheets
