Mountain View (dpa) - Google is also moving its developer conference to the Internet in view of the ongoing corona pandemic.
The online version of Google I / O will run from May 18 to 20, as announced by the Internet company.
Last year, Google canceled the I / O conference altogether and limited itself to a handful of digital presentations.
The big tech companies traditionally use their conferences with several thousand participating developers and journalists to present new products and give an outlook on future strategy.
However, Corona made the meetings impossible.
