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

#22They 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…
"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."
If it were a different company, maybe. But this is Google. They have effectively unlimited funds.

Think Google X, but with 2 year instead of 10 year technologies.

Very strange you were downvoted. It's Google's 'Advanced Technology and Projects' group. Incubator run by an ex-DARPA guy. Projects are given two years.

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.
Indeed:
Maker Faire: May 20-22
Startup Conference: May 19
Google IO: May 19-20

I'm more interested in Project Vault, which seems dead since the project leader quit Google soon after he announced it:

Because the question is literally answered by the first half a dozen results from any search engine?

Moscone center is undergoing renovation.
Not Moscone West, where they have held IO in the past.
