Anyone curious about how Google plans to top its stunt-filled developer conference from this year will find out 162 days from today.

Google announced today that Google I/O 2013 will return to Moscone Center West from May 15 to May 17. This year it took place in 2012, and wowed the tech world with a presentation that included daredevils skydiving onto the roof of Moscone Center while live-streaming the whole thing on their Google Glasses.

It's not time to register yet; registration details will be announced in February, Google said. Prospective attendees can get a feel for what happens at I/O by checking out the 2012 site. The company is also making announcements on the Google Developers page on Google+.
