Google wanted to put all of the world’s most influential thinkers, creators, makers and doers in the same room, so you could hear what they have to say. But they couldn’t fit them all in. So they created Talks at Google. You can visit any time you like to find out what drives them and how they make our world a better place. Talks at Google. Where great minds meet.
