They are having it outside at Shoreline? oh boy.

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 s…

It may be related to the fact this year is a special edition: the 10th Google IO edition.

From the website: "To celebrate a decade of working closely with the developer community, we’ll be hosting I/O in our backyard at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, a venue that has played host to some of the world’s biggest entertainers and events."

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 happens every year. They don't announce a lot of sessions until the keynote.

Hosting this in MV is just... weird. All the hotels suck, there's no food, nothing touristy to do, etc etc.

I don't understand your note about costs. Google has infinite money. Even mid-tier meetings are held at Moscone, so I don't think it's that expensive.

Are the I/O hordes really going to be visiting the Google Campus? For what reason?

It's pretty weird.

That weekend is also Maker Faire (5/20-5/22) just up the road in San Mateo, so something to consider checking out if you're in the area for IO.

Hope we hear more from ATAP. They had some really interesting projects last year I'm hoping make it further towards market.

Wish they give more details about tensorflow and related stuff.

Otherwise it is going to be Google Frontend I/O once again just like last year.
