Here is all you need to know and what to expect from Microsoft Build 2024. What is Microsoft Build? Microsoft Build is the US tech giant’s annual developer conference, which first took place in 2011. The three-day event features speeches, demonstrations, and information sessions from keynote individuals including company executives and industry experts, tailored toward developers and software engineers.

The tech showcase event commences on Tuesday (May 21) through to Thursday at the Seattle Convention Centre What’s new this year? Microsoft Copilot is expected to be a headline feature of this year’s event, following on from the previous conference when it was revealed as the new AI assistant.
