The countdown to Microsoft’s flagship developer event has officially begun. Microsoft Build 2025 registration is now open, offering developers a rare opportunity to save $400 with early bird pricing available until April 9.
This premier developer conference will take place May 19-22, 2025, at the Seattle Convention Center (Arch at 705 Pike Street), bringing together the global developer community for an unparalleled learning and networking experience.
Why does this matter to your development team? Microsoft Build is the annual event where Microsoft reveals its strategic vision and upcoming technologies directly through Satya Nadella and other key Microsoft leaders. The innovations announced at Build often reshape development priorities and technology strategies for the coming year.
Time is of the essence for securing your spot. With limited passes available at the discounted rate of $1,125 (regular price: $1,525), developers looking to maximize both learning opportunities and budget efficiency should register promptly.
Microsoft Build 2025 welcomes a diverse range of technical professionals – from general developers and back-end specialists to full-stack developers, AI engineers, and next-gen AI thought leaders. If you spend 50% or more of your time writing code at work, this event is tailored for you.
The hands-on sessions and interactive labs provide practical skills you can immediately apply to your projects, making this much more valuable than typical tech conferences focused only on presentations.
The early bird discount ends April 9, 2025 – mark your calendar and register today to participate in Microsoft’s most comprehensive developer event at a reduced price.

Four Pillars of Microsoft Build 2025: Connect, Code, Learn, and Grow
Microsoft Build 2025 is organized around four core themes that together create a complete developer experience. Each pillar addresses a different aspect of professional development and technical skills.
Connect @Build: Join developers from around the world to build relationships that last beyond the conference. These aren’t just casual meetups – they’re opportunities to solve real coding problems together, share solutions, and celebrate what makes the developer community special.
Previous Build events have fostered collaborations that turned into successful projects and even startups. Community gatherings, structured networking sessions, and team-based activities help you find others working on similar challenges.
Code @Build: Roll up your sleeves and dive into interactive coding sessions that prioritize doing over watching. Microsoft has specifically designed these sessions to be “low on slides and high on live demos” with shareable code samples you can take back to your projects.
Based on last year’s conference, expect hands-on labs covering everything from cloud architecture to AI integration, where you’ll write actual code alongside Microsoft engineers who built the tools you use daily.
Learn @Build: Get first access to the latest language and platform updates directly from the source. This is where Microsoft announces new features, capabilities, and roadmaps for their developer tools and platforms.
The 2024 conference revealed major advances in AI services and tools like Phi-3 models and Azure AI Studio – expect similar forward-looking announcements this year. Don’t miss the AI for Good lab to explore how developers are applying these technologies to help people and protect the planet.
Grow @Build: See what’s next in AI and future technologies while learning how to apply these advances to your work. Attend sessions from Microsoft’s leadership and experienced engineers to understand the company’s vision and upcoming priorities.
Last year’s Build introduced groundbreaking AI developments like Team Copilot and Copilot+ PCs – this year promises to show the next evolution of these technologies and how developers can use them effectively.
The balance of theoretical knowledge and practical application makes Microsoft Build uniquely valuable. You’ll not only learn about new technologies but actually use them during the event, giving you skills you can immediately apply when you return to work.
