Google I/O Connect is the premier localized, in-person assembly that brings global Google I/O summit updates directly to international tech hubs. It offers developers and engineers hands-on experience with emerging AI, Android, and Cloud technologies. Designed as a hands-on, localized extension of the global summit, this is not just a series of introductory lectures. We are moving past the overviews to focus on practical execution—showing you exactly how to integrate Google’s newly unveiled developer toolkits, multi-device ecosystems, and agentic AI models directly into your daily production pipelines.
Whether you are a software engineer, data architect, tech founder, or open-source contributor, the next few days are built entirely for you.
What to Expect: The Core Tracks
This year’s forum is divided into four deep-dive technology tracks, equipping you with the tools to build the next generation of software:
🤖 Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The era of agentic AI is here. Dive into the hands-on deployment of the latest Gemini models and learn how to build next-generation autonomous AI agents. We will explore fine-tuning open-source machine learning architectures, particularly the Gemma model family, and leveraging specialized ML developer environments like Google AI Studio to turn complex reasoning into working software.
📱 Android
Scale your impact across billions of active users globally. This track focuses on engineering seamless, high-performance applications designed to adapt fluidly across multi-device form factors—from mobile phones and tablets to foldables, wearables, and smart TVs.
🌐 Chrome & Web
Harness modern, advanced web platform capabilities to architect lightning-fast, secure, and powerful progressive web apps (PWAs) across the open web. We will also be exploring the newly proposed WebMCP standard and how to build your website for the agentic era, enabling browser-based AI agents to execute complex tasks with precision.
☁️ Cloud
Simplify and scale your end-to-end backend development. This track covers streamlining cloud-native infrastructures, deploying via automated CI/CD pipelines, and managing complex databases with ease so you can spend less time on ops and more time building.
Beyond the Code: The Festival Experience
To give developers the opportunity to experience these tools in a memorable way, we have partnered with Sparks to create a dynamic outdoor festival environment. This event is designed to empower you through:
- Interactive Technology Demos: Explore live experience zones where you can test-drive newly launched developer tools and cutting-edge hardware to spark inspiration for your next project.
- Advanced Technical Workshops: Join deep-dive sessions led by Google engineers. We are skipping the basics to focus purely on integration strategies, optimal coding practices, and workflow acceleration.
- Unmatched Networking: Meet face-to-face with Google Developer Experts (GDEs), tech founders, and fellow innovators. Get your toughest technical questions answered directly by the product engineering teams behind the software.
Grab your badge, fire up your IDEs, and get ready to connect, learn, and build. Welcome to Google I/O Connect!

Annual developer festival where Google announces major product updates, developer tools, and artificial intelligence breakthroughs like Gemini. “I/O” technically stands for Input/Output.
The event includes in-depth talks, immersive hands-on learning with Google experts, and an exclusive first look at Google’s latest hardware and software products and features. What makes the I/O event even more exciting? Its format.
To give developers the opportunity to experience Google’s new developer products in a memorable way, Google partnered with Sparks to create a dynamic outdoor festival environment designed to empower developers through content, access, connection, and excitement.
For a few days every year, Google I/O takes over more than 10.5 acres within the Shoreline Amphitheater property in Mountain View, CA, bringing together over 10,000 developers from around the world.
