Google yesterday closed the five-day period to submit applications for its annual developer conference. This morning, the company has started contacting I/O 2020 ticket winners.
In addition to opening ticket applications, Google today provided more details about its annual developer conference. This year, Google is going into depth about sustainability efforts at I/O 2020. Covering transport, construction, and food, the goal is to move to a “zero-waste, net-zero emissions model.”

At the start of every year, Google teases its I/O developer conference — specifically the dates — with an elaborate alternate reality game (ARG). Google I/O 2020’s puzzle is a mission called “Collaboration of the Cosmos.”
Every year at Google I/O, the community is treated to a “Fireside Chat” where developers can directly ask questions to the Android team and have them answered clearly and honestly. This year, the Android Fireside Chat closed out I/O 2019 and offered candid insight on the future of Wear OS, Fuchsia, and foldable devices.
Developers likely know all too well the struggle of having to create and maintain a consistent experience between mobile, desktop and web apps. Flutter has already bridged the gap between Android and iOS development, but now Flutter is expanding to the web, desktop and more, growing closer to the “write once, run anywhere” dream.
Google I/O 2019 is upon us! If years past are any indication, the annual developer event in Mountain View, California is set to bring us the latest in Android, Google Assistant, Google Maps, AR initiatives, YouTube, and much, much more. This year is particularly notable, though, because we’re expecting some new developments from the hardware side of things too…
Tomorrow kicks off Google I/O 2019 and there’s a ton we’re expecting from the event. From hardware launches to fresh details on Android Q and so much more, it’s going to a busy day. With everything that’s going on, the question begs to be asked, what are you most excited for at Google I/O 2019?
Released last week for Android and yesterday on iOS, the Google I/O 2019 companion app has just added the official conference map for this year. The layout is slightly tweaked from the previous three years at the Shoreline Amphitheatre.
With Google I/O just 13 days away, the developer conference’s companion app has been updated for the 2019 edition. Available on Android, the Google I/O 2019 app will deliver alerts and provide directions for attendees, as well as a schedule with livestream links.
After providing a preview of developer conference tracks and sessions, Google today released the initial I/O 2019 schedule. The main Google Keynote featuring major product announcements from CEO Sundar Pichai and other executives will be on Tuesday, May 7th at 10AM PST.
Last month, Google began notifying winners of the I/O 2019 ticket drawing.

This includes a whole new “Gaming” track, with the full listing available next week.
