Software giant Microsoft has announced dates of its annual development conference – Microsoft Build for 2026. The event will be held on June 2 and 3 instead of the typical May timing. The company has invited 2,500 developers across the world to register for Build this year, which is less than the roughly 3,000 to 5,000 who have attended the event previously. Another change to Microsoft Build 2026 is the venue change. Unlike last year, the event will be held in San Francisco instead of Seattle. According to a report by The Verge, Microsoft is moving Build to this location (San Fransisco) to capture the AI buzz of San Francisco and to make the event more intimate.
