Google Tuesday confirmed that its annual developer conference is set for May 20-21, 2025. The event will be held at the usual spot, Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheater, a few minutes — depending on traffic — from Google HQ.
The two-day event is a mix of both public- and developer-facing content. CEO Sundar Pichai will kick things off with a big keynote on the morning of Tuesday, May 20, before making way for smaller breakout sessions for an army of developers.
Last year’s show was overloaded with news focused on Gemini, Google’s generative AI platform, and there’s no reason to expect this year to be any different. While I/O has centered around AI features the last several years, the space continues to heat up, thanks to competitors like OpenAI and DeepSeek.
For those who can’t wait a few months, the I/O 2025 site is already up and running with some developer content from previous years, including Gemma, Google AI Studio, and NotebookLM.
Developer season kicks off in full force with Nvidia’s GTC on March 17-21, rounded out by Apple’s WWDC in June. This year, Google also has some stiff competition in the form of Microsoft Build, which is set for May 19-22 in Seattle.
