How is Google I/O different from Google Developer Day?

Google I/O is a two day developer event focused on both Google developer products as well as other open initiatives for the web. Since Google I/O is in San Francisco, there will not be a Google Developer Day in the Bay area as there would be substantial overlap. However, Google Developer Days are still being held outside of the US as one day events where the Google developer team can connect with developers in local markets.
