The Microsoft Build 2024 starts this Tuesday, May 21st, picking up the baton from last week’s Google I/O technology event and the Apple iPad event from the previous week. This year, Microsoft’s conference will once again focus on AI, with the slogan “How will AI shape your future?”.
First things first: What is Microsoft Build? Microsoft Build, which was first held in 2011, is the annual developer conference of the technology giant in the United States.
The event, which lasts several days, includes opening speeches by company executives, as well as numerous demonstrations and educational sessions for software engineers and developers.
The inaugural speeches of Microsoft Build are the main attraction for those who are not experts in the field, as it is likely that important products will be announced in them.
This is the second year that Microsoft Build is being held at the Seattle Convention Center, as it has moved to this location after being held exclusively online between 2020 and 2022.
What can we expect at Microsoft Build 2024?
Last year’s Microsoft Build keynotes unveiled the company’s new AI assistant, Windows Copilot, and revealed that Bing would become the default service for ChatGPT for web browsing.
Judging by the AI theme of 2024 – as well as the ongoing concern of the technology industry in general about AI – there is a good chance we will see more announcements in this regard this year.
At the very least, Microsoft Build 2024 is likely to provide an update on the ongoing development of Copilot. The tech giant has been working to incorporate its artificial intelligence assistant into more areas, including further integration with Windows 11.
What is the Microsoft Build 2024 program?
The Microsoft Build of this year officially starts on Tuesday, May 21st and will last three days. Fortunately for us, it is not necessary to be in Seattle to participate.
Just like Google I/O last week, Microsoft Build will be held both in person and online through its channel, allowing you to stay up to date with the latest news from the tech giant no matter where you are.
