Google I/O Extended Chennai 2026

Description

Google I/O Extended Chennai 2026 is GDG Chennai and WTM Chennai's flagship, community-led extension of Google I/O — bringing this year's biggest announcements straight to Chennai's developer community. True to the "Extended" name, we're not just recapping I/O 2026; we're going deeper, with sessions curated around the year's real developer shifts — the move to agent-first building with Google Antigravity, the next wave of Gemini models, fresh ground in Android and Kotlin, the emerging agentic web, and where Google's science and search tools are headed next. Across a single day, expect a mix of keynote-style overviews and hands-on, code-forward sessions, deliberately spread across AI, Android/Kotlin, Web/Cloud, and career & community tracks — so the day stays varied and nobody's sitting through six AI talks in a row. A dedicated lunch and networking break sits right in the middle of the day, giving attendees room to connect with speakers, sponsors, and each other. With Ford as our venue partner, we're able to host a bigger crowd than ever and give the day the space it deserves.
