Microsoft Build 2018 kicks off today: How to watch live stream and what to expect

Microsoft is set to kickstart is Build 2018 conference today in Seattle. Just a day before the commencement of the Google I/O 2018 developers’ conference, Microsoft is seizing the day with the big announcements centred around the new prospects for the company amid the sinking PC sales and lost mobile phone business entirely.

The Microsoft Build 2018 conference starts at 8:30 am PDT, May 7 at the company’s home turf Seattle. In India, this time translates to 9:00 pm IST, Monday. The conference will end on May 9, however, the major announcements will dominate the first and a major half of the second day. This is the second time Microsoft chose its base to organise the Build conference, as opposed to the venue in Silicon Valley two years ago.

Microsoft will also be live-streaming the conference on its Build website – https://news.microsoft.com/build2018/. However, the website needs users to register themselves first.

The Microsoft Build 2018 begins with the keynote speech by CEO Satya Nadella who will talk about the company’s future goals and will later be joined by Vice President of Operating Systems, Joe Belfiore, who will shed light on many technical announcements, in addition to Artificial Intelligence and, of course, coding.
