Microsoft schedules Build 2018 developer conference for May 7-9 in Seattle

Last year, Microsoft moved its Build developer conference from San Francisco to Seattle. The company has apparently deemed the decision a success as Build 2018 will indeed stay in the company’s home state of Washington, scheduled from May 7 to May 9, 2018. Registration opens on February 15.

The event this year overlaps with Google’s I/O developer conference, which is scheduled for May 8 to May 10 in Mountain View. Unlike Google, which is hosting its event at its headquarters, Microsoft is sticking with Seattle rather than moving its conference to its headquarters in Redmond, likely due to facility constraints.
