Microsoft Build is Microsoft's annual developer conference, and its primary platform for announcing updates to Copilot, Azure AI services, and the developer tooling that ties them together. The 2027 edition is projected for May 18-20 at the Seattle Convention Center, based on the company's recent scheduling pattern, though Microsoft had not published official dates as of this writing.
Build typically draws 5,000 to 7,000 in-person attendees alongside a much larger online audience for its keynotes and breakout sessions, with agentic AI development and enterprise Copilot integration expected to remain central themes.
