Major Conferences
As was noted in the previous chapter, Google’s main developer conference is Google I|O. For the past several years, it has been held in May. In 2018 and 2019, Google has also organized the Android Developer Summit, a two-day Android-focused conference held in October or November. In both cases, the conference sessions are published on YouTube after the event.
The largest collection of independent conferences is the droidcon series. Past events have been held in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Each event is independently operated, and where and how they publish conference videos varies by event.
There are many other Android-focused events outside of droidcon, such as:
- 360|AnDev in Denver
- Android Makers in Paris
- The Android Summit (not to be confused with Google’s Android Developer Summit) in Washington DC
- Chicago Roboto, in Chicago
You can find a list of upcoming Android conferences here. Note that many of these events have moved online or are canceled for 2020, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
