Google I/O 2023 is taking place on May 10

This year's Google I/O, the yearly developer's conference, is taking place on May 10, revealed Sundar Pichai, Google CEO.The event will take place at the usual venue - Shoreline Amphitheatre, just across the street from Google's HQ in Mountain View, California.This edition of the conference should be the first in four years with in-person attendance but it will still be live-streamed for anyone interested to follow.
