Earlier today, Google followed tradition and released a game that revealed the I/O 2026 dates. A certain number of participants had to complete the puzzle to unlock the answer, and it didn’t take long for the date to be disclosed.
Google has confirmed that this year’s I/O will start on May 19 and conclude on May 20. The two‑day event will be held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.
Beyond “the latest AI breakthroughs and updates across the company,” Google has not yet disclosed the full agenda. As with previous years, you can expect keynotes, sessions, workshops, demos, and more.
You can register now at io.google/2026. If you can’t attend in person, the conference will be livestreamed so you won’t miss a thing. You can also try this year’s I/O puzzle if you missed the original launch.
