Google I/O is the tech giant's annual developer conference and one of the biggest events in the calendar for anyone with an interest in software, phones, wearables, AI, the web and, well, pretty much anything.
It takes place every May or June at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, and the 2025 edition will be the 17th since it began in 2008.
This year's will run across Tuesday, May 20 and Wednesday, May 21, with the all-important keynote on the first day. What can you expect? Well, usually Android was traditionally the star of the show, but lately Google's Gemini AI has been at the fore, and it's a good shout that it will dominate the 2025 installment.
Big hitters such as Android Auto, Android TV, Android Wear, Google Photos and Google Assistant have all made their debut at the show, and it's not unusual to get new hardware at I/O, either; the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a were introduced at I/O 2023, for instance.
Scroll down for all the latest news ahead of the show, and stick with TechRadar for all the big announcements once it all kicks off.
