#GoogleCloudNext: Through the Lens of Revionics’ Patrick Lea
Editor’s Note: Revionics colleagues attended #GoogleCloudNext 2025 in Las Vegas, April 9–11. This annual conference brings together Google Cloud customers, partners and industry leaders to explore advancements in cloud technologies, particularly AI, and how they can be applied to drive business innovation and growth. Patrick Lea, Revionics’ SVP, Enterprise Infrastructure and Operations, immersed himself in all that Next had to offer. Patrick took fantastic photos at the event, which he shares below along with his firsthand perspectives.
At Google Cloud Next 2025, we had seven Revionics colleagues in attendance. Pictured, from left to right, in the front row are Alex Braylan and Aakriti Bhargava; in the back row are Josh Oettle, Charles Lindsey, Matt Pavich, Feng Gao and yours truly.
While this was no small commitment to have seven colleagues attend an event, given Revionics’ close partnership with Google Cloud there is a significant business reason that our engineering and science leaders stay fully informed on the latest Google Cloud advancements. And Next did not disappoint when it came to the number of announcements made at the event — 229 announcements, to be exact. Google Cloud wasn’t the only one making announcements at the event. As you’ll read later in this blog post, Revionics made a big announcement of its own on the final day of Next.
At Google Cloud Next 2025, there were 700+ sessions — a staggering number, really. While I attended just a small fraction of those, one that really inspired me was part of the Executive Track and hosted at Sphere Las Vegas. This particular session went into detail on the AI magic behind Sphere’s upcoming “The Wizard of Oz” experience, exploring how Google DeepMind and Google Cloud are helping bring a cinema classic to the venue’s 17,600‑seat spherical space to create an immersive sensory experience.
Pictured below is Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who introduced the session. In addition to the session being fascinating in terms of how AI is being used to advance audio and visual techniques, it was also a powerful reminder that AI is opening doors to do things nobody’s ever done before. Barriers that existed before may not be barriers anymore, and sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. That resonated with the Revionics team as we chart new paths in retail pricing.
At Next, the Revionics team met with our partners at SADA, an Insight company. That meeting is captured in the photo below.
SADA is a leading business and technology consultancy and an award‑winning Google Cloud partner. This partner has been instrumental to Revionics, including helping Revionics with its migration to the Google Cloud platform several years ago, which you can read about in this case study.
While we talk to SADA frequently, there is always a deeper level of collaboration and more energy and excitement about what’s next when we can connect in person with multiple members of our respective teams.
If my account of Google Cloud Next 2025 has painted a picture of all work and no play, that would be misleading! A Thursday night concert at Allegiant Stadium with The Killers and special performances by Wyclef Jean and Tate Renner was included in the Next conference pass. As you can see from the photo below featuring The Killers’ performance, there was no shortage of event attendees who took advantage of this Next at Night concert — me included.
Yet the Revionics team couldn’t stay out TOO late that night, as early the next morning we were slated to make our big announcement.
On Friday, April 11, at approximately 9 a.m. PT during Google Cloud Next, Revionics showcased for the first time in a public forum what it has been building — a multi-agent pricing system for retailers.
This unveiling happened during the breakout session “Build and deploy multi-agent applications with Vertex AI.” The presentation focused on how Google Cloud partners — including Revionics — are being empowered to build enterprise-grade AI agents.
Pictured below is Revionics’ Aakriti Bhargava, VP of Engineering and AI, explaining to the audience how Revionics’ intelligent AI agents will work together to help retailers solve complex pricing problems and optimize pricing decisions.
Revionics’ multi-agent AI pricing system will transform key aspects of retail operations, including pricing team capabilities, how pricing data is utilized across the enterprise and how quickly retailers can respond to changing market conditions.
During that same session, Revionics’ Alex Braylan, Director of Data Science and AI, presented Revionics’ agentic vision and architecture as well as a live demonstration of our multi-agent pricing system.
You can watch the live demo and full session replay here.
Revionics is targeting 2026 for its multi-agent pricing system launch — which will include availability on Google Agentspace — following tests with its pilot customers this year.
