Google I/O 2024: AI, Android 15, and Pixel 8a in the Spotlight

 

Google I/O

Google I/O, or simply I/O, is an annual developer conference held by Google in Mountain View, California. The name "I/O" is a play on the number googol, with the "I" representing the "1" and the "O" representing the first "0" in googol.

Format

The format of the event is similar to Google Developer Day and features keynotes, technical sessions, and an expo floor. Attendees can learn about the latest Google technologies, products, and APIs, and network with other developers.

History

The first Google I/O was held in 2008 and has been held annually ever since. In 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was held entirely online. Since 2022, the conference has been held in a hybrid format, with both in-person and online components.
