Google today announced that Google I/O 2012 will take place from June 27th to 29th, one day more than it has been in the past. It is also taking place later than originally announced. Google made the move in response to customer feedback:
After Google I/O 2011, you consistently told us you wanted more time to attend sessions, visit our partners in the Developer Sandbox, and meet 1:1 with the engineers behind Google’s developer platforms and APIs. We recently received an unexpected opportunity to extend Google I/O to three days, so as we announced on our +Google Developers page, we are moving the conference to June 27-29, 2012.
Another interesting change is that the new application process will require a code submission. Google adds, “That’s all we can tell you for now, but we’d advise against making travel arrangements until then.” Is Google I/O set to become a more exclusive event?
The event will still take place at Moscone Center West in San Francisco.
