Another day, another event that gets cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Google just announced that it cancelled I/O 2000, its biggest developer conference. Earlier this week, the search giant already turned its Cloud Next event into a digital-first event. Google's I/O 2020 was scheduled for May 12-14, 2020.
Due to concerns around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other health authorities, we have decided to cancel the physical Google I/O event at Shoreline Amphitheatre.

All guests who have purchased tickets to I/O 2020 will receive a full refund by March 13, 2020. If you don’t see the credit on your statement by then, please reach out to io@google.com. Guests who have registered for I/O 2020 will not need to enter next year’s drawing and will be automatically granted the option of purchasing an I/O 2021 ticket.

Over the coming weeks, we will explore other ways to evolve Google I/O to best connect with our developer community.

For additional questions, please contact io@google.com.
