Google posted at least some of the events and sessions for developers to check out at the Google I/O trade conference already. It looks like the Big G wasn't quite finished ironing out the details, because several new sessions have been added to the official website as of today. Here are a few of them that are particularly relevant to Android:
- Android Pay everywhere: New developments
- Google Cast & Android TV: Building connected experiences for the home
- Beyond payments with Android Pay
- Office hours with the Android Pay Team 1, 2
- Office hours with the Google Apps team 1, 2
- Office hours with the Android Multi-Window team 1, 2
- Office hours with the Search & AMP team
- Android N Office Hours 1, 2
- Office hours with the Android Battery & Framework teams 1, 2
- Office hours with the Android Runtime & Tools team
- What’s new with Notifications in Android N
- What's new in Android security (M and N Version)
- Office hours with Android app performance teams
- What's new in Android Wear?
- What's new in Google Play for developers?
- Office hours with the Android Location & Context team
- Speechless@I/O
Some of the above office hours are doubled up on Day 3 as well. There are also a wide selection of "After Hours" events added to Day 2 (May 19th), which are essentially a combination of social mixers and fun demonstrations. One in particular, "After Hours: Phantogeist with AR gameplay and Project Tango," says that attendees will "use your Project Tango device as a special scanner to defend yourself and Earth from the creatures by zapping them." That might mean that Google I/O's giveaway hardware could include a Project Tango tablet this year... or it means that they'll be provided at the event, or that attendees will be expected to bring their own.
