Hasn't this been announced for a while? Is there a reason this got submitted? Did the schedule just get released or something? Title should probably clarify.

Is the entire event going to be outside? Or are they going to use a tent in the vast parking lot space like they do for festivals?

Schedule was released about an hour ago.

It doesn't look like they're really talking about anything new this year. A little bit about android auto but as far as I can tell, that's it.

This one sounded interesting until I read the the abstract... I was hoping to hear some reflections on actual security.

The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of Google.

I attended I/O a few years ago (prior to joining Google) and really enjoyed the Moscone Center. Mainly because there was lots of hotels and restaurants in the area. Lodgings around the Google campus are pretty sparse, this feels like a mistake to me. Being able to walk to your hotel after a long day of focusing/listening was definitely nice.

That said, being able to visit the Google Campus if you've never been there is really nice. As well, I'm betting this will greatly reduce the costs of hosting the event and those funds can be used in a different way. And with Google's fleet of buses, it looks like they will pickup and drop people off at the hotels they have rooms blocked off at.

EDIT: as drl42 points out, the mascone center is undergoing renovation and probably wasn't available.
