Google has revealed the dates for its major annual event, Google I/O 2026. The developer conference will take place on May 19 and 20, 2026. This news came from Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who is currently in India for an important AI summit.
The event will be held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Like every year, people around the world will be able to watch it live online through streaming. This allows developers and tech fans from anywhere to join in without traveling.
Pichai shared the exciting news on social media platform X. He invited everyone to take part in what promises to be a big showcase of new technology.
Artificial intelligence is expected to be the main highlight this time. Google has already put up an interactive teaser on its “Save the Date” page based on its Gemini AI. This shows that generative AI will play a central role in the conference.
Developers can look forward to updates on the next version of Android. There may also be fresh tools for building apps and websites, along with new machine learning features. Google often uses this event to share advances in cloud services and other developer tools.
In the past, Google has launched new Pixel devices and AI-powered features during I/O. While nothing is confirmed yet, there is a good chance the company could introduce new hardware or smart AI additions this year too.
Beyond product reveals, Google I/O gives a clear view of the company’s future plans. With strong competition in the AI field, this event will likely show how Google plans to grow its Gemini platform and overall AI system.
The announcement comes at a special time. Sundar Pichai is in New Delhi attending the India AI Impact Summit 2026, running from February 16 to 20. The summit brings together tech leaders and policy experts from across the world to talk about AI’s uses and its future path.
During his visit, Pichai also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting happened as India works hard to become a major global hub for AI and digital innovation.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis is also present at the summit. He explained that current AI systems still have limits. They struggle with continuous learning and making long-term plans. He said efforts are underway to improve these areas in the coming years.
Google I/O 2026 is shaping up to be a key moment for tech updates, especially in AI. Fans and developers are already looking forward to what the company will share next.
