In past years, whenever Google opened up registration for Google I/O, swarms of people would blitzkrieg the website, typically leading it to crash. Thankfully, for the past couple years, Google implemented a lottery system — not a first-come, first-served basis. While I’m not huge on my chances of winning a lottery, it’s still better than what Google had before.
Needless to say, Google has made available the time at which the application window will open: Wednesday, February 22 at 10AM PST.
At that time, anyone can enter for a chance to win a spot to attend Google I/O 2017. Whether you are first to enter or last to enter, you have an equal chance of winning a spot.
I/O this year is at the Shoreline Amphitheater - the same venue as last year - in Mountain View, on May 17-19. In 2016, Google gave out sunscreen and sunblock to attendees, although I've heard numerous people grumble about it being too hot, too sunny, and not enough water supplied. With that said, when Google announced the 2017 venue as Shoreline Amphitheater a few months ago, I was surprised.
