Google Cloud Facilitator Program 2026 | Opening Soon https://www.linkedin.com/posts/durgacharan-nayak_googlecloudready-googlecloudarcade-cloud-activity-7478082815046365184-Gs4D?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&rcm=ACoAAC5eFa0B2b-5Qhj4R4WsFJ_SYHhIkaaiGus

[Important Announcement] Clarifying Some Very Important Doubts, Program Extension & Other Relevant Information ✅ Here are some VERY important updates about the program. Please read them EXTREMELY carefully. ✔️ ✔️ The program has been extended till 13th October 11:59 PM IST? & October Games will be counted🥳 We heard you! The Arcade October Levelled Games, Basecamp game & the Trivia games will be counted towards user milestones in the facilitator program. (Note: Special Game and Cert Zone October games will NOT be counted) Unfortunately, no extra Google Cloud Skills Boost credits will be provided for this extra time, so please do remember to use remaining credits very carefully. ✔️ Multiple Campaign Participation is NOT allowed Many of you might have seen that the new Google Cloud Study Jams have just been launched with the GDG onCampus team in India. Just as always, participating in multiple campaigns with similar curriculum running at the same time is frowned upon. And thus any users who are already a part of the Arcade Facilitator program, would have been removed from the GDG onCampus Google Cloud Study Jams. See you in the cloud, Durgacharan & the Arcade Facilitator Team

Facilitator Swags Coming Up ⚠️⚠️ https://youtube.com/shorts/Km3sy9lWTM8?si=-ULd94uh6oIpLqlE Watch, Like & Show some love in the comments 😍

Update regarding recent order cancellations emails First of all, please note that none of the swags vendors are acting on their own here and any & all orders which are being cancelled, are being cancelled by the Google team itself since these orders essentially violated the rules and code of conduct of the program. Note that these cancellations were made after careful considerations and taking a LOT of factors into account and once it was carefully evaluated that they were actually duplicates. Let me know if any of your swag order from last cohort was cancelled without any rule violations. Happy Learning 😊

Quick Update on Last Cohort Swags Delivery We request you to please be patient with your deliveries. You were already communicated about the delivery timeline which was 8-12 weeks and it doesn't make sense for you to query about it again and again until that timeline has not reached. Please note that a LOT of things have to be taken into account before we start shipping. Happy Learning 😊
