Microsoft Build is the company's annual developer conference, running every year since 2011. This year, it has a clear organizing theme: AI agents. Scheduled for June 2 and 3 at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, it's the first time Build has left Seattle since 2016.
Microsoft has kept in-person attendance to around 2,500 developers, with Satya Nadella delivering an opening keynote framed around "creating new opportunities for developers across our platforms in this era of AI." With a smaller attendance capacity and tight event schedule, Microsoft is hoping to make this the defining event for its AI-native products.
