Google has officially launched its communications around its annual Google IO conference. In 2023, the stakes are particularly high, because the company could play its future there.
Every year around June, the tech giants host big conferences for developers to try and attract creativity into their ecosystem. With the smartphone and internet market maturing, these conferences have lost some of their interest over the years. In 2023, however, Google’s is particularly anticipated as the company appears to be at a crossroads in the face of its future.

A conference with high expectations
We now know that we will discover Google I/O 2023 on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, two months from the time this article is written. Google should invite the press and developers to Mountain View on its property. The event will also be broadcast live on the internet.
The event’s space-inspired logo leaves little doubt about the presence of Android 14. The next version of the system will also use a logo that references NASA.
Google Pixel tablet, Pixel Fold and more
We also expect the presentation of new devices during this event. We think in particular of the Google Pixel Tablet that should be there to convince developers to show interest in this screen size again. We also know that the brand is working on a first smartphone with a foldable screen. Again, the Google I/O would be the right opportunity to get developer support.
Simply put, the Google Pixel 7a has also leaked and could be formalized at this big conference.
And artificial intelligence
We especially know that Google has been panicking for months because of the increasing popularity of tools such as ChatGPT and the new Microsoft Bing. For the year 2023 alone, the company is said to have launched more than 20 internal projects around artificial intelligence.
For years, the Google I/O was the conference chosen by the company to showcase its research in the field of AI. This year, more than any other year, will be an opportunity for the giant to regain control of this sector.
