Joining us in person for #io16?
Speechless will now be taking place in the Amphitheatre at 6PM: goo.gl/qXWjNE. Watch Google speakers as they give totally new presentations in totally unpredictable ways, based on the SF-based comedy show. After you’re done with Speechless, head into the main Sandbox for the After Hours party. We’ll have lots of fun surprises happening in and around the tents!
