Google I/O 2019 – What sessions should SEOs and webmasters watch?

Monday, May 06, 2019

Google I/O 2019
is starting tomorrow and will run for 3 days, until Thursday. Google I/O is our yearly developers
festival, where product announcements are made, new APIs and frameworks are introduced, and
Product Managers present the latest from Google to an audience of 7,000+ developers who fly to
California.

However, you don’t have to physically attend the event to take advantage of this once-a-year
opportunity: many conferences and talks are live streamed on YouTube for anyone to watch. Browse
the
full schedule of events,
including a list of talks that we think will be interesting for webmasters to watch (all talks are
in English). All the links shared below will bring you to pages with more details about each talk,
and links to watch the sessions will display on the day of each event. All times are Pacific
Central time (California time).
