Google I/O 2025: Developer Event Dates Revealed
Google Sets Dates for I/O 2026, Promises Keynotes, Demos and Fireside Chats
Mark your calendars for May 19, 2026. That’s when Google kicks off its I/O developer conference, with registration opening today. The event will follow the usual script—keynotes, demos, sessions—but the full schedule remains under wraps.
Right now, the promotional page is the story, hosting a series of minigames Google says were built entirely by its Gemini AI. That’s a clear signal. Last year’s event was dominated by the expansion of AI Mode in Search and the launch of the Flow app; expect that focus to intensify.
Similar to previous years, Google I/O 2026 will feature keynotes from company leaders, fireside chats, product demos, and more. Google still hasn't shared the full schedule for its sessions, but the company plans to kick off the event with a keynote on the morning of May 19th. You can also interact with a "save the date experience" on Google's website, which contains a series of minigames built by the company's Gemini AI model.
Google announced a ton of AI-related news at last year's I/O, including the broader expansion of AI Mode for Google Search and the launch of its AI filmmaking app Flow. This year is shaping up to be another AI-heavy event as the company continues expand on Gemini, along with the AI features across its search engine, Chrome, Workspace apps, and Pixel devices. Developers can register for Google I/O 2026 starting today.
Look at the 2025 conference. That’s the blueprint. It brought major AI features to Search, Chrome, Workspace, and Pixel hardware. This year’s agenda will almost certainly detail the next wave of updates for those very systems and the core Gemini model itself.
