Microsoft to Move Build Conference from Seattle in 2026

Microsoft is moving its yearly Build conference away from Seattle in 2026.

This conference is for tech developers and has been held in Seattle since 2017, except during the pandemic.

Microsoft hasn't said why they're moving, but some sources say it could be because of complaints about the city.

The conference has been held in different locations since 2011, including California and virtually during the pandemic.

This year's event had disruptions due to protests.

The new location hasn't been announced yet, but Microsoft aims to keep it a major event for developers.
