Google’s annual developer conference, I/O, is taking place once again this May. Revealed through a playful puzzle (as is tradition), the exact date is May 10th, and the conference will be hosted in-person at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. It seems like this year’s show will be similar to last year’s, where only a limited amount of developers were allowed to attend the in-person portion.
I/O serves as a sneak peak into Google’s latest developments across its various platforms, whether that be search, the smart home, TVs, wearables, and Android. We also – occasionally – get hardware announcements, and this year, we’re expecting to hear about the upcoming Pixel Tablet and mysterious Pixel Fold (a.k.a. my most anticipated phone of the year).
Of course, with all of the AI chatbot talk in the tech world nowadays, Google will likely also bring its new Bard system and its capabilities. It’s unclear what else the company could have up its sleeve when it comes to AI, so we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for any hints leading up to the keynote.
As is the case with every I/O keynote, there will be a livestream for the general public to enjoy which I’ll share once I have a link. In the meantime, I’ll be going through Google’s PR team to try and convince them to let me cover it in person. Wish me luck.
Exciting news! Google’s annual developer conference, I/O, is set to take place in May, with in-person attendance at the Shoreline Amphitheatre. It’ll be interesting to see what Google has in store, from upcoming hardware announcements to AI capabilities. Looking forward to the livestream!
