San Francisco: As flagship tech events go virtual again amid the surge in Covid cases globally, Microsoft's annual developer conference Build will also ditch the in-person format and go fully virtual from May 25-27.
Microsoft Build 2020 was also organised digital-only. The company uses "Build" conference, usually attended by over 5,000 people, to showcase new technologies and features for its Office and Windows products.
A Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed the 2021 dates to The Verge.
"Microsoft Build is where developers, architects, start-ups, and students learn, connect, and code together, sharing knowledge and expanding their skillset, while exploring new ways of innovating for tomorrow," the company website reads.
