Microsoft Cancels 'Build 2020' Developer Conference, Announces 'Digital Event'

Microsoft has cancelled the in-person portion of its 'Build 2020' developer conference. The event was set to take place May 19–21, 2020 in Seattle, WA.

The company issued the following statement earlier today:

The safety of our community is a top priority. In light of the health safety recommendations for Washington State, we will deliver our annual Microsoft Build event for developers as a digital event, in lieu of an in-person event. We look forward to bringing together our ecosystem of developers in this new virtual format to learn, connect and code together. Stay tuned for more details to come.


Apple has yet to make an announcement about its Worldwide Developers Conference; however, it appears as though that event may have to be cancelled as well. Google has already cancelled its I/O developers conference and Facebook has cancelled its F8 developers conference.
