Google I/O

About

Like Microsoft Build and Apple’s WWDC, I/O is Google’s premiere event for developers — and like last year, it’ll like be a primarily virtual event in 2022. The event will take place on May 11-12, presented “live from Shoreline.” For a typical I/O event, thousands descended on the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, for Google keynotes and developer sessions to talk about new technological advances, updates to its Android operating system, and plans for the year ahead.
