Google Easter Eggs - IO 2013

Google I/O 2013 was the first ever Google I/O to have an Easter Egg, and also the first ever to have a Interactive Digital platform for itself. This was Google's first attempt at creating an Easter Egg on an I/O platform.

What is Google IO?

"Google I/O is an annual developer conference held by Google in Mountain View, California. "I/O " stands for input/output, as well as the slogan "Innovation in the Open". The event's format is similar to Google Developer Day." [Link - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_I/O]

Google IO is also an event where Google unveils it's latest products and shows off it's newest features. Attendees are sometimes rewarded with Hardware giveaways (like ChromeBook Pixel on 2013).

Where can we find the Egg, and what is it?
