Build the Future: AI, Spatial & Android

The Google I/O After-Party for AI & Spatial Devs
The I/O keynotes are over. Now, let’s build the future.

Innovation is moving off the screen and into the room. Join GDG San Francisco and PICO for an exclusive post-Google I/O gathering designed for the builders who don’t just watch announcements - they implement them.

This isn't just another meetup. It’s a high-energy bridge between Android’s ecosystem and the Spatial frontier.

🔥 The Highlights

The I/O Download: A rapid-fire recap of the most important AI & Android updates from I/O ‘26.

Zero to Spatial: See how Matt Belland (ByteDance) ports apps to PICO in minutes using Kotlin.

The Pitch Pit: 40 minutes of high-intensity pitches. Show the room what you’re building and get direct, 1:1 feedback from PICO engineers.

Elite Networking: Rub elbows with GDEs, PICO leads, and the Bay Area’s top AI/XR talent.
