Microsoft Build 2019 conference kicks off today: How to watch live stream, what to expect, and more

Each year Microsoft holds its annual developer conference in Seattle. During the two-day event, which also competes with Google’s I/O developer conference, Microsoft unveils new products and services and updates on its current offerings.

With Microsoft aggressively focusing on services over last few years, Windows is no longer the flagship product for the company. Instead, Microsoft is now focusing new and emerging technologies such as cloud computing, blockchain, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

At its 2019 Build conference, cloud and AI are expected to take the centre stage. CEO Satya Nadella will deliver the opening keynote. Nadella is expected to announce new products as well as touch upon topics such as privacy and data regulation.
