The big annual developer conference will take place from May 24-26.
The Windows, Office, and Azure company’s big annual developer conference is upon us again, this time again in an all-online format. And once again, it’s likely to be focused on developer tools, cloud services, and training, rather than on splashy product releases. That said, there are murmurings that the first major update to Windows 11, codenamed Sun Valley 2, might appear in time for Microsoft Build 2022. How to Watch Microsoft Build
Anyone can sign up for the conference and watch everything on the web at the Microsoft Build subsite for free. Create a profile to tailor the conference to your needs and build a personalized session schedule as well as a “backpack” with your contacts and session recording for later reference after the show. The conference kicks off at 11:15 a.m. on May 24 with the first keynote presentation from CEO Satya Nadella. It will last just 45 minutes—refreshing when compared to some tech conference keynotes that regularly top two hours of late. Microsoft Build Sessions
Many sessions will be on-demand as well as live, and the conference will also feature Imagine Cup World student coding contest awards, Breakout Sessions, a Connection Zone for interacting with presenters and attendees, and a Microsoft Build After Hours. You can also book 45-minute one-on-one sessions with Microsoft professionals for personalized help and info. The conference will feature regional content for France, Germany, Japan, Latin America, and the UK, as well as global content. You’ll find sessions in several languages on the conference site, and AI-powered captioning will be available in 28 languages.
