Google I/O 2014 Schedule Announced, Event to Take Place in San Francisco

By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Friday, February 21, 2014

The Google I/O 2014 schedule was announced earlier this week.

The conference will be held from June 25-26 in San Francisco at Moscone West which is the same location from previous years. The dates and location were confirmed by Google's Android and Chrome chief Sundar Pichai.

The 2014 conference will take place a bit later than it did in 2013 as last year's was held in May. Pichai also stated that Google plans to implement a new registration system that will avoid tickets for the event from selling out within minutes like they did last year.

"Also, a quick note for those who want to join in person: this year we're making some changes to registration, so you won't need to scramble the second registration opens," he said. "We'll be implementing a new system, where you can submit your interest to attend Google I/O 2014. Successful applicants will then be randomly selected and notified shortly thereafter."

Google introduced some new products at last year's event including the new version of Google Maps and new features for Android, Google+ and more.

Google also confirmed that it will live stream this year's event. More details on Google I/O should be available by next month.

Google has had an interesting run since last year's I/O as the tech giant sold off Motorola and released products such as the Nexus 7 2013 and the Nexus 5 smartphone. The company also revealed and rolled out two new Android builds with 4.3, JellyBean and 4.4, Kitkat which were introduced on the devices mentioned above. Google could end up finally spilling the beans on Android 5.0 during this year's festivities. It also may be able to shed some light on the Nexus 10 tablet successor which has been shrouded in mystery up until this point.
