Google I / O is a developer conference by Google that takes place annually in the US state of California . The Google I / O took place for the first time in 2008. I / O stands for both I nnovation in the O pen as well as I / O ( input and output ). At the Google I / O, new functions, hardware and software from Google are discussed, such as B. Android or the Chromebooks , whereby the conference is aimed explicitly at technically experienced developers .

In addition to the presentations, there are parallel "sessions" (sessions) that deepen certain topics in order to discuss its aspects in detail. Google therefore only allows just under 5,000 developers to use Google I / O. For this reason, the tickets are usually sold out after a few hours, as the Google I / O is seen as the most important date for information about new Google products .
