The UNC J-school’s Carroll Hall will host a Google I/O Extended developer conference event on May 28, coinciding with the annual Google I/O conference in San Francisco.

Google I/O Extended events will include live streamed sessions of Google I/O in San Francisco, code labs and more. The events are being brought to hundreds of cities around the globe, led by Google Developer Groups and working with local developers, higher education and tech partners.

The Chapel Hill event will feature codelabs, livestreaming of I/O from San Francisco, and a welcome by the Chapel Hill Google office.

Registration is now closed for the event, but volunteers opportunities are available.
