Google has officially cancelled its I/O 2020 developer conference and said that the event won't be taking place "in any capacity this year."
As Google announced its first change of plans earlier this month, the company said it would "explore other ways to evolve Google I/O to best connect with our developer community." At the time, it seemed like the company would host online presentations and workshops, much like Apple announced it would do at WWDC later this year. However, in response to California's recent shelter in place order amid the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, the company now won't hold the event at all.
Google twitted, "Right now, the most important thing all of us can do is focus our attention on helping people with the new challenges we all face. We'll continue to do everything we can to help our communities stay safe, informed, and connected”. For the time being, Google plans to share details about upcoming Android updates in blog and community forum posts.
