Microsoft Build returns to San Francisco (smaller, dev‑focused)

Microsoft Build is coming back to San Francisco this year.

It will be held at Fort Mason June 2-3 with ~2,500 in‑person attendees and more virtual.

goal is to focus on developers using the AI tech, building and shipping systems.

more shipping, tighter sessions, hands‑on demos, and more time talking to other builders - sounds interesting

Curious how others feel about format versus large‑scale events.

Microsoft AI CEO was predicting extinction of white collar jobs in 18 months, why are they inviting developers, why not directly held conference for AI Agents?
