Google I/O

Google I/O FAQ

How is Google I/O different from Google Developer Day?

Google I/O is a two day developer event focused on both Google developer products as well as other open initiatives for the web. Since Google I/O is in San Francisco, there will not be a Google Developer Day in the Bay area as there would be substantial overlap. However, Google Developer Days are still being held outside of the US as one day events where the Google developer team can connect with developers in local markets.

Will you be having a Google I/O event in my area?

Currently, there are only plans for one Google I/O, this one in the San Francisco Bay Area. However, there are many user led developer events that occur around the world. Check our events calendar to see if there are any in your area. In addition, later this year we will be holding a number of smaller Google Developer Days in locations outside the United States.

Are there any discounts available?

We've tried to set the event passes at a level which will be accessible to a wide range of developers, including individuals and non-profits. Before 4/4, we're providing a 25% discount. There is also a discounted rate for students and teachers.

Can Google get me a discount on accommodations?

Google has secured group discounts on the hotels listed.

How do I make my hotel reservations?

Please contact the hotels directly and reference the code 'GOOGLE I/O' to get the discounted rate.

No problem, please email us at google-io@google.com, and we can sort this out. We will register your colleague and apply the payment you have made to your colleague's new record.

I need to cancel my registration. How do I do that?
