Microsoft’s Build developer conference will be held completely online in 2021, from May 25 to 27.

The event allows developers and students from around the world to share their expertise regarding Microsft products and services.

Microsoft also utilizes the event to launch new software updates.

According to a Microsoft confirmed report byZDNet, the annual Build conference will be held virtually this year.

TheMicrosoft Events webpagehas only recently been updated to reflect the dates of the 2021 Microsoft Build conference.

TheMicrosoft Build websitehas, at the time of writing, yet to be updated for this year’s event.

Smaller “What’s Next” events to complement the bigger Build conference could also be on the table.

With regards to registration and pricing, no details have been revealed as of yet.

Microsoft will likely reveal more information about Windows 10X and the Windows 10 Sun Valley update.

This is mainly because previous Build conferences have already given a lot of attention to it while ignoring Windows.

All of this points towards a more Windows-centric Microsoft Build in 2021.

In 2021, companies are better prepared to organize virtual events and conferences.

Like Microsoft, Apple too will behosting its World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC)virtually.

The 2020 Google I/O Conference, on the flip side, was canceled by Google.

The chances for Google organizing one this year are also slim.

Microsoft Build and WWDC could well be the only big developer conferences to be held in 2021.
