Google I/O 2022 will be Online and Free to All on May 11-12

Google has opened registrations for Google I/O 2022, the company’s annual developer conference which will be held on May 11-12. Once again, the event will be digital and open to all, with Google holding live sessions from the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.

Google canceled its I/O 2020 conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the event came back last year in a new digital format. In a statement shared with Axios’ Ina Fried, Google said that this year’s event will be broadcasted in front of a “limited audience” of Google employees and some partners.

While you can already register for Google I/O 2022, the session calendar isn’t live yet. Android 13 will likely get some stage time after Google released the first preview last month. The company also seems to have big ambitions from Chrome OS following the release of Chrome OS Flex, a free version of the OS to install on old PCs and Macs.

Microsoft and Apple have yet to announce the dates for their annual developer conferences, which are also held in the Spring. Due to the ongoing pandemic, both companies will likely follow Google’s footsteps and go digital this year.
