Thousands of developers have been soaking in the sun and knowledge while Google woos them with free Google Homes, raw vegan salads, and a live performance by LCD Soundsystem. Usually the can't miss moment of the conference is the Day 1 Keynote, when Google announces big changes to Android, Daydream, and other software and services.
