Google I/O May 19-20 Shoreline Amphitheatre

Google will open its I/O 2026 developer conference on May 19 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, with a company keynote scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Pacific time, according to the event site. The conference runs through May 20 and will also be available online through Google’s I/O portal. Google said in a February post that the event will cover “latest AI breakthroughs and updates in products across the company, from Gemini to Android and more.” The schedule now posted on io.google also lists a developer keynote at 1:30 p.m. Pacific on the first day. ### When does the keynote start, and why are some times different? Google’s official I/O schedule lists the main Google keynote for May 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Pacific time. The same schedule lists the developer keynote for May 19 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. Pacific time. For viewers in India, 10:00 a.m. Pacific on May 19 corresponds to 10:30 p.m. Indian Standard Time the same day. (blog.google) Indian Express reported on Monday that the livestream for CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote begins at 10:30 p.m. IST on May 19. That timing aligns with Google’s posted 10:00 a.m. Pacific start for the main keynote. ### What has Google officially confirmed about the event itself? (io.google) Google said on February 17 that I/O 2026 will take place May 19-20 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View and online at io.google. The company described I/O as its annual developer conference and said viewers should expect updates spanning Gemini, Android and other Google products. (indianexpress.com) The I/O 2026 “About” page says the event is open to everyone online on May 19-20, with livestreamed keynotes and sessions followed by on-demand technical material. That page also directs users to register for updates about the digital event. ### What does the schedule say Google plans to talk about? Google’s public schedule shows sessions grouped around AI, Android, Chrome, Cloud, Firebase, Flutter, Google Play, web and XR. (blog.google) Session titles on the site include “Adaptive development for the expanding Android ecosystem,” “Build next-gen AI experiences with Google AI Studio and Google Antigravity,” and “A new era of discovery: AI and the frontiers of science with Demis Hassabis.” (io.google) The I/O homepage also lists speakers including Hartmut Neven, James Manyika and Demis Hassabis in featured sessions. Those listings indicate that AI and developer tooling will be central parts of the conference agenda, based on Google’s own program descriptions. ### Are Gemini, Android XR and Android updates expected? Google’s February announcement said the conference would include updates “from Gemini to Android and more,” but it did not publish a product-by-product launch list in that post. (io.google) Preview reports from Indian Express said the keynote is likely to include updates on Gemini AI, Android XR and other software features. Google separately published “The Android Show: I/O Edition 2026” on its official blog last week, signaling fresh Android announcements ahead of the conference. The post described the show as a look at the “latest breakthroughs” on Android, though the excerpt available in search results did not detail specific version announcements. (blog.google) ### Where can viewers watch, and what comes after day one? Google’s keynote pages say viewers can tune in for the live keynotes and sessions through the I/O site. The company has also posted add-to-calendar links and a session catalog on io.google. May 20 is the second day of I/O 2026, and Google’s event pages say livestreamed sessions will continue before technical content becomes available on demand. (blog.google) Sundar Pichai is expected to lead the opening keynote on May 19, while the developer keynote follows later that day at 1:30 p.m. Pacific, according to the official schedule and Indian Express’s livestream timing report.
