The Microsoft Build 2025 Session Catalog has officially dropped, and it’s time to start mapping out your week-long adventure in Seattle—or from the comfort of your home. With just weeks to go until the conference kicks off on May 19, Microsoft is giving attendees a head start on planning their experience. And trust us, this year’s lineup is packed with enough tech goodness to make your inner geek do a happy dance if it’s hoped up on AI hype.
Chart Your Course: 225 Sessions and Counting
The session catalog boasts a whopping 225 sessions, covering everything from agentic AI to on-device AI and ARM-based app optimization. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a curious newbie, there’s something for everyone. Highlights include sessions like “Reimagining Software Development and DevOps with Agentic AI” and “Infuse a Windows App with Local AI Features Through WinAppSDK.” And let’s not forget the buzz around Copilot+ PCs and Snapdragon X Series-powered devices—because who doesn’t love a little hardware magic?
Speaking of AI, Microsoft’s Copilot AI event last week was a showstopper, probably for reasons Microsoft would like most viewers to ignore. From unveiling new features like Copilot Vision and Memory to showcasing how AI can transform everyday tasks, as well as a well-publicized pro-Palestine protest, the event set the stage for what’s to come at Build. Despite the heavy tone set early during the event, the Copilot team even managed to bring levity with a roast of Bill Gates and Satya Nadella—proving that AI has a sense of humor (and impeccable timing). With Copilot stealing the spotlight, it’s safe to say that AI will be a major theme at Build 2025.
So, what surprises does Microsoft have up its sleeve for Build? Could we see new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X chips? Or perhaps a sneak peek at the next evolution of Copilot? Rumors are swirling, and the anticipation is palpable. One thing’s for sure: Microsoft is going to need to start delivering APIs that developers can start using that will help proliferate the AI gospel to start paying for all these data center leases soon.
Whether you’re attending in person or tuning in online, Build 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience. From hands-on labs to community meet-ups, this is your chance to learn, connect, network, and grow alongside fellow developers. So grab your calendar and start plotting your sessions.
With the session catalog live and the Copilot hype still fresh, the countdown to Build 2025 is officially on. What are you most excited to see?
