Google hosts their I/O every year to launch their latest developments coming to market. This year is no different. From .app domain names to exciting developments about the Android TV, Wear OS, and Photos. Here is what the company has in store this year for us.
This year's Google I/O 2018 is only 27 days away. The event is starting on May 8 and will end on May 10. This year also, there will be Keynote Sessions. These sessions offer a chance to look at how the company's technology can impact the world. However, if you are thinking that you missed the opportunity, here is how you can book in advance seats of I/O as confirmed attendees.
- Go to google.com/io/schedule, sign in with your account and click on the ticket icon for each Session you want to reserve.
- If a particular Session has already reached the reservation capacity, you’ll see an hourglass icon instead. That means you can be waitlisted.
- You can reserve as many Sessions as you’d like per day, but only one reservation/waitlist per time slot is allowed.
- Reservations will remain open until 1 hour before the start time for each Session.
However, the seats are only available for the sessions and not for the other events. Also, the final schedule can change before the event starts.
