Everything you need to know about Google I/O, including how to watch the opening keynote.
Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) — Google has announced when it will hold Google I/O this spring. Here’s everything you need to know about the annual developer conference, including what time it starts, how to stream it online, whether it is free watch, and what to expect from the opening keynote on Day One. What is Google I/O? The conference, which in past years was a big-scale media event with thousands of journalists and developers in attendance, is a fully online affair that is completely free to watch. Most people are usually most interested in the opening keynote on Day One, as that’s when Google’s CEO and other notable executives from the Mountain View-based company typically take the stage to announce big software and platform updates across its product portfolio. Google could discuss new features coming to the next major update to Android, innovative software experiences, and it might even unveil hardware. Long ago, Google also used the conference to wow attendees with impressive students. In 2012, to loud cheers from the crowd of about 6,000 developers and reporters, skydivers jumped out of a plane flying over San Francisco and parachuted into the roof of the Moscone Center — where Google I/O was held that year.
