About Google I/O

May 27-28, 2009
Moscone West, San Francisco


Google I/O is a developer gathering focused on pushing the boundaries of web applications using Google and open web technologies. Google engineers and web development leaders will lead you through two days full of in-depth breakout sessions on the latest technologies, and informal Q&A at Fireside Chats.

Breakout Sessions

Learn first hand from engineering leaders on the cutting edge of web application development. Breakout sessions will provide highly-technical content that will give developers an inside edge.

Office Hours

Engage with product experts in an intimate and informal setting. Each product will have a designated space where product managers and engineers will be available throughout the two days to answer any of your questions. Come share your code snippets, gain an understanding of how to use a certain API, or just get to know the teams and hang out.

Fireside Chats

Fireside Chats bring together developers and Google engineering teams in an informal setting to ask those hard questions, discuss approaches to problems, and think about the future.

Tech Talks

Google has a tradition of holding informative Tech Talks on campus that offer insight into an area. In that tradition, Google I/O features Tech Talks on subjects of interest to developers, such as computer science problems and programming languages.

Developer Sandbox

Developers from technology companies, small and big, demonstrate how they use Google products and open technologies to build innovative apps.

Connect with the Community

Google I/O is as much about bringing bright developers together to share ideas as it is about education in sessions. There will be plenty of time to meet other developers, discuss ideas, and share what you've been working on.

After Hours Playground

If you're too busy taking it all in during the day, then After Hours Playground will give you a chance to meet developers with similar interests and relax with food, drinks, a code lounge and more. You don't even have to leave the Moscone Center. After Hours Playground will be held at the same venue.
