Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O 2026, runs May 19-20 with the opening keynote at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET, per the official Google I/O site. The keynote will stream on YouTube and the Google I/O site, according to Google’s event page. Media outlets including The Verge, Wired, Engadget, and Android Authority previewed the show and highlight Gemini/”Gemini Intelligence,” Android 17 features, the new Googlebook laptop category, and Android XR as likely focal points. The Android product site details Gemini Intelligence and Googlebook as pre-announced items; outlets also flagged potential Pixel 11 and Pixel Watch reveals and updates to Veo text-to-video and Search, attributing these as likely topics rather than confirmed keynote items.
