Google I/O, the annual developer conference, is set to take place at Shoreline on May 20-21st! Registration is currently open, and tickets are being distributed in phases. I’ve already secured my badge for my fifth I/O event!

While the event schedule typically isn’t released until a couple of weeks prior, I expect this year’s I/O to be heavily focused on AI, offering developers new tools to improve their native and web applications. Last year, Gemini was unveiled piece by piece, showcasing its capabilities across Android, ChromeOS, and the Web.

Android XR will likely have a more prominent role this year, especially after the recent unveiling of its software and hardware at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event. I’m particularly excited about Project Astra and the UI/UX for the Android XR glasses, which were teased earlier this year.

The Pixel will undoubtedly take center stage. The Pixel 9a should be released by then, and we might even get a sneak peek at the Pixel 10 series. There have also been rumors about Android making its way to laptops, given that the ChromeOS and Android teams are now under the same Platform and Services department.

As you can see, there’s a lot to look forward to at Google I/O. AI will continue to be a central theme, and I’m eager to see what innovations are unveiled.
