We’re now just six days away from Google I/O, and in preparation for the event, Google has updated its official Google I/O app for Android. Aimed at both those attending the conference and those keeping up from home, the app now offers maps with session information, HDMI video output for live streams, Google+ login support, and more.

If you’re attending Google I/O this year, then the official Android app is a must. Not only can you use it to sign in via NFC, but it also provides you with maps of the venue, a schedule of events, lock screen widgets for viewing your agenda on the go, and automatic Wi-Fi setup.

For those keeping up with Google I/O from home, then the app provides access to live streams, which you can watch on your TV by plugging your Android device in via HDMI.

Here’s the full list of changes in this update:

– NEW! Scan attendee badges via NFC
– NEW! Schedule changes are immediately synchronized between devices
– NEW! Lock screen widget for viewing your agenda on the go
