Google is gearing up for another round of its I/O Connect event, with invitations for the 2024 edition already hitting developers’ inboxes. This year, Google is bringing its developer conference to the German capital of Berlin. These I/O Connect events are typically an after-party of the main annual I/O event. Although there’s no date as to when the annual event is happening place, the invite for the post-event tells that the annual I/O event may happen in May. This also hints to us that we may be seeing a Google Pixel 8a soon, or a Pixel Watch.
Google is inviting developers to an I/O Connect
Google sent invitations to developers on Friday announcing the Google I/O Connect, Berlin 2024, slated for June 27. It promises a platform for developers, across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, to delve into Google’s latest products and solutions. Further, the event will feature live sessions, hands-on activities, demos, and some networking opportunities. Mind you, It’s an invite-only event.
Google, notably, advises the attendees to plan their accommodations wisely, as the UEFA Euro 2024 is happening concurrently. Because many people will be attending both events, it’s best to book a hotel room early. Further details about the event schedule, including potential plans on June 26 and 28, are expected in the coming weeks.
It isn’t the first time, though
The I/O Connect initiative isn’t new for Google. Last year, they expanded their outreach with similar events in Amsterdam, Miami, and Bengaluru. These events typically offer developers more opportunities to engage with the latest developments in Google’s ecosystem. Last year’s events strategically coincided with the main Google I/O developer conference in Mountain View.
Additionally, besides Google’s anticipated Pixel 8a, we may see a new Pixel watch, potentially rivaling Apple’s Vision Pro. Because Google might at least announce something to combat the $3,500 mixed-reality headset.
