The next major Google conference has an official date. The announcements to come must be important enough to make people forget several recent political controversies of the company.
Google has just unveiled the official date of its major annual conference. The Google I/O will therefore be held during the month of May 2025 with multiple events. The Mountain View firm should hold several announcements relating to new products as well as details on its global and future strategy around artificial intelligence.
This Google I/O could however have a slightly more political slope. Since the arrival of President Donald Trump in power, Google has been pointed out as for several of his recent decisions.
What is the date of the Google I/O 2025?
Traditionally organized at the beginning or mid -May, the Google I/O of this year is somewhat late. On its official social networks, the firm has revealed that its next conference will be held on May 20 and 21.

In Europe, the name of the Gulf of Mexico is still visible. This is no longer the case, however, for users located in the USA. In his official blog postGoogle indicates to locate your location according to your telephone operator, your SIM card or your WiFi network to determine what it should display. Thus, American users can now see only one “Gulf of America” by going to Google Maps.
On the side of Google Agenda, things are not much better. The firm notably withdrew several inclusive events such as the “Black History Month”, the date of the Pride 2025 or the month dedicated to women in the United States. Asked about the question by Theverge sitean official Google representative justified this decision by the fact that these lists “were not profitable” for the company. “
