Early registration is officially open for Google's largest developer event of the year, Google I/O, being held on May 27 and 28, 2009 at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Space is limited so reserve your spot now as Google I/O attracts about 3,000 developers with two days full of in-depth breakout sessions on the latest technologies. New additions to the conference include learning about 3rd party technologies, as well as informal office hours with product managers and engineers and informative tech talks on areas of interest to developers, both of which are Google traditions. This year, sessions will span a range of topics including Android, Chrome, Google Web Toolkit, and Google App Engine. See the latest session list.

The academic registration fee is $50, which applies to students, professors, faculty, and staff. Early registrants will receive a Google Chrome Comic Book. Registration to Google I/O includes: Two full days of sessions, product demos, breakfast, lunch, snacks, admission to Wednesday night's After Hours reception, as well as discounted room rates at several nearby hotels.
