As we had discussed earlier that a chain of event cancellation has started after Corona outbreak. This streak was started with cancellation of MWC 2020 i.e. Mobile World Congress 2020 due to this virus outbreak, MWC is an annual event held around late February and early March and it’s acts as heaven for tech geeks and nerds with various OEM’s and manufactures showcase their latest and greatest development in throughout the year.
After cancellation of MWC numerous events were either called of or were shifted to ‘Online Only’ schema, Google was one of the first brand to announce shifting of its annual developer conference i.e. I/O 2020 to online only and a chain reaction was sparked and Facebook announced cancellation of it’s annual developer conference i.e. F8 while GDC i.e. Game Developer Conference and E3 both of them were also called of as a cautionary measure to regulate the spread of this deadly virus ‘COVID-19 or Novel Corona Virus’, after all this recent trencher Apple INC. was the latest brand to announce shifting of it’s annual developer conference named WWDC 2020 to online only.
After all the recent massacres due to spread of this virus Google decided to completely call off it’s ADC rather than online only event. Google used Google Developers Twitter handle to announce this news, stating: “Out of concern for the health and safety of our developers, employees, and local communities — and in line with “shelter in place” requirements by the local Bay Area government — we sadly will not be holding an I/O event in any capacity this year.”
And “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.” Alongwith
“Please know that we remain committed to sharing ongoing Android updates with you through our developer blogs and community forums.”
It means that Google has completely called-off the event while abiding to push developer preview as per the schedule.
