Google IO 2018 livestream starts on Tuesday, May 8 in the sunny confines of Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, right in Google’s backyard.

Expect the latest news on Android P, Google Lens, Chrome, Android Wear (wth a possible Google Assistant update), Google Home and maybe a few surprises throughout the conference, which runs through Thursday, May 10.

One of the most intriguing announcements from last year’s Google IO was Google Lens, an augmented reality-powered app that can do everything from identify landmarks in your photos to auto-log you into a Wi-Fi router by scanning a code.

Expect more futuristic reveals like this during the May 8 keynote.

If you can’t make it to California to attend the event live, you can still catch the keynotes as well as all of the sessions directly on the event website’s homepage here during the conference.

Here’s the Google IO keynote start time and details

For general consumers, the keynotes on Tuesday are going to be where you get the information you want. The sessions are geared specifically toward developers and can get pretty technical. That said, if you’re a developer that didn’t score a ticket (or couldn’t drop $1.1k on one) that still wants to benefit form the info, the streaming is an easy way to get it for free.

 

To stay in the loop throughout the conference, you can also follow @Google and @GoogleDevs on Twitter and @Google on Instagram.

Ready, set, stream!
