The event will, however, be livestreamed from Google's
Shoreline Amphitheatre — the regular venue for the I/O conference — and will
have a “limited live audience” that could include Google's employees and some
partners. Google also continued the tradition of releasing an “SVD” puzzle
before revealing the dates for its developer-centric annual conference.
CEO Sundar Pichai announced the dates of Google I/O 2022
through a tweet posted on Thursday. The conference will be livestreamed and
will be free to access for everyone attending virtually.
According to an FAQ page available on the Google I/O site,
registrations for the conference will begin later this month.
In a statement shared with The Verge, Google spokesperson
Alex Garcia-Kummert said that this year's event would be broadcast in front of
a limited live audience. Google clarified to Axios' Ina Fried that the limited
audience will primarily include Google employees and some partners.
This suggests that for the rest of the attendees, this
year's Google I/O would remain an online event.
In 2020, Google completely cancelled its I/O conference due
to the COVID-19 emergence. It, though, conducted the event as an online-only
conference last year.
Google I/O has been popular among developers building mobile
and Web apps ever since its start back in 2008. However, for the general
public, the conference has gained significant popularity in the last few years
due to various consumer-focused announcements, including the release of new
Android features.
Last year, Google unveiled Android 12 with Material You
design. It also announced a partnership with Samsung for developing the new
Wear OS update.
Google is likely to showcase Android 13 at its this year's
I/O conference and may give details around the rumoured developments of
foldable phones and the Pixel Watch. We are also likely to see the Pixel 6a as
Google's new affordable Android phone

Ahead of revealing the dates for Google I/O 2022, Google
released the SVD puzzle on Wednesday where it asked enthusiasts to untangle a
given string with some references.
The puzzle contains overlapping shapes and a sound toy that can be used to solve the riddle and know the dates as a fun exercise.
