Google has officially announced the dates for Google I/O 2025, scheduling its annual developer conference for May 20th and 21st. The event will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, offering both in-person and online experiences for attendees.

This year's I/O will follow a familiar format, kicking off with the highly anticipated Google Keynote on the afternoon of May 20th, followed by the Developer Keynote. The first day will also feature breakout sessions, workshops, and demos, culminating in a developer block party in the evening. May 21st will continue with additional sessions, demos, and Q&A opportunities throughout the day.

While Google hasn't revealed the full agenda yet, the company is encouraging developers to register for the free event to stay updated on scheduling and other announcements. The main keynote will also be broadcast on YouTube for those unable to attend in person.

Google I/O has traditionally been a launchpad for major software updates and strategic announcements. Last year's event saw the introduction of Gemini 1.5 Flash, Project Astra, and the second beta of Android 15. For I/O 2025, attendees can expect updates on Google's latest AI innovations, Android developments, web technologies, and cloud services.

The conference comes at a time of intense competition in the AI space. With rivals like OpenAI and Microsoft making significant strides, Google will likely use I/O 2025 to showcase its latest advancements in generative AI and machine learning technologies.

For developers looking to get a head start, Google has already highlighted a "Start building today" section on the I/O homepage, focusing on the Gemini open model, Google AI Studio, and NotebookLM.
