Google announced that the Google developer conference will be held on May 19 and May 20 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre and online. The company will use live streaming to transmit sessions and keynotes at its developer location.
The announcement came as Sundar Pichai shared a short note and push for registration. The event page includes interactive puzzles and a save the date message. The opening keynote is likely on the morning of May 19.
Event basics and timing
Google has positioned I/O as the place for major AI news this year. Past keynotes focused heavily on Gemini and on generative media models. Expect Google to highlight how Gemini ties into Android Chrome Workspace and Vertex AI. The company framed this I/O as an AI centric event.
In-person attendees should observe the official I/O page to register. The company will provide livestream viewing opportunities to the global audience and a schedule of sessions to the engineers and product groups. The site also includes developer puzzles and early materials to explore.
What to expect
Announcements are likely to show progress across models tools and platform integrations. Last year Google revealed advances in video and image models and released updates that bound Gemini deeper into search and productivity apps. This year the company will likely emphasize new model features enterprise tools and Android level integrations that use generative AI.
Expect demos targeted at developers and at product teams. Google I/O frequently demonstrates code level tools and previews of APIs that go forth in the year. Teams and engineers are supposed to organize to watch sessions on model API on device AI and on cloud services that support Gemini.
