9to5 Google: Google I/O 2026 set for May 19-20 . “Since 2016, Google has hosted I/O at the concert venue next to its California headquarters, though there was no show in 2020 and the year after was online. It’s another two-day event this year. Google will make the agenda and session list available closer to I/O 2026. Online registration is free and begins today.”

If you’re curious about the story behind the WPDiversity movement, or what’s next with my new endeavor "Speak Tech Confidently," you can read the interview here: https://supportinclusionintech.com/spotlight-jill-binder/
