Google I/O 2026 set for 19–20 May with livestreamed keynotes and sessions
Google has confirmed Google I/O 2026 for 19–20 May, with livestreamed keynotes, technical sessions, and the standard set of product announcements that frame the year's developer roadmap. The event sits one day before Google Marketing Live on 21 May, creating a three-day window for major Google product announcements that will shape paid-media practice through the rest of 2026.

What changed
For paid-media practitioners, the I/O+GML combination is the most concentrated set of Google product news in the calendar. AI Max evolution, Gemini integration into ads, the GTM-in-Google-Ads launch, Data Manager Map View, Meridian Studio, and the bidding/budgeting roadmap will all be discussed across the two events.
