I did, no such luck. Same as every single year I've tried. You'd think having been invited down to Google for other summer events would help but it doesn't. I'd buy a ticket that doesn't qualify you for any swag if I still get to talk to people but it seems like they don't care about that.

Agreed! The only reason I want to go is to share wisdom and learn.
Frankly, I'm planning on going to as many after-parties as I can -- the reason to go to Google I/O is the people.
