Google will hold I/O conference on May 15-17, 2012

Published on December 9 2012

Google announced that Google I/O 2013 will take place May 15-17 at the Moscone West Center in San Francisco. More details will be released in February as the registration period nears.

The company says registration details are coming in February. For those who can’t attend in person, Google says it will be sharing the event via Google Developers Live and I/O Extended viewing parties.

The official Google I/O page has yet to be updated to next year’s event, though you can visit it to watch keynotes from 2012.

Google made quite the splash with its 2012 conference, which ran from June 27-29, with its skydiving stunt for its Google Glass project. It was also the venue for the official announcement of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Nexus 7 tablet and Google Now.

Next year’s edition is guaranteed to bring plenty of exciting news as well, so mark your calendars. Google says it’s just 162 days away. If you’re hoping to get a ticket, you’ll need to be speedy when registration details arrive early next year. Google I/O 2012 sold out in just 20 minutes.

The showing brought out several important product launches and announcements.

Android news included the significant Jelly Bean (Android version 4.1) update with 16 new gestures. Later on, some would point out that Google’s software outinnovated Apple’s iOS in terms of enhancements.

Google Now was unleashed to take on Siri. The overpriced (and recently phased-out) Nexus Q streaming orb fell on def ears with average consumers.

Then came Project Glass, a technology demonstration that raised quite a few eyebrows.

Google, of course, solidified its new position as a gadget maker with new Chromebook models that rip off the MacBook Air and its foray into tablet computing with the seven-inch $199 Nexus tablet
