This May 23–25, the latest Build event is held in Seattle.
While Build presents an opportunity for developers, students, engineers, engineers, and technology professionals to learn more about Microsoft products, it’s also where Microsoft shares major updates for Windows and its suite of productivity apps.
Yes, this is a hybrid event so you can join in-person and on-line.
For those joining in-person, there is a pre-build day on the 22nd with extra workshops.
Please register here to be part of this event.
For developers using Microsoft technology, it’s a great opportunity to see which direction Microsoft is going and to decide in which direction your career is going.
I arranged a long list of Azure IoT-related sessions.
There are many new topics so if you are Azure IoT-minded, this is the Build event for you!
Fusion of Remote Operations, Simulation and Digital Twin
The next evolution of digital twin blends simulation, visualization across physical and digital, and the ability to support end-users both on-site and remote.
