Agents

Microsoft Build is a two-day event this year (after being three days in prior years). That’s in line with the overall smaller Build - fewer attendees, smaller venue, and fewer days. There was no day 2 keynote either. For me, day 2 was full of breakout sessions, a hands-on lab, and great conversations with Microsoft and GitHub employees.

I attended Microsoft Build in person on June 2, 2026. Below are my observations from day one. I’ll post a day-two update, as well as a wrap-up after the event.

Microsoft Build 2025 centered on the future of intelligent agent-based applications. This post recaps my four-day experience in Seattle attending Build, covering keynotes, developer sessions, GitHub Copilot updates, .NET Aspire insights, and hands-on labs.
