Fireside chats at Google I/O

At Google I/O (just 2 months away!), we're excited to bring back a series of sessions called fireside chats. Fireside chats are smaller, intimate sessions where Google teams will talk about major developments with their product, what's in store for developers, and spend most of the time answering burning questions from the audience.

I/O will feature the following fireside chats:
  • Fireside chat with the Android team
    Speakers: The Android team with Chris DiBona moderating
