You can put the names of the countries into the spaces on the board and add/subtract from letter values appropriately.
This gives you:
L IN E
THEATRE
SHO RE
AM P H I
(Shoreline Amphitheatre)
5/17, 5/18, 5/19 are the dates of Google I/O, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA.
EDIT: Haha, I guess we're faster than they expected or this leaked early, since completing it links you to https://events.google.com/io/ which just says "check back soon".

Chess pieces sometimes have values assigned to them: Pawns: 1, knight/bishop: 3, rook: 5, queen: 9. Might help (?).

The number of spaces in each row matches the lengths of something you've seen.
