GOT
QUESTIONS?

WHEN IS BUILD //LOCALHOST 2026?
Build //localhost events are scheduled to take place between June 4 – June 26, 2026. In India, we're hosting on June 6 (Bengaluru), June 18 (Noida), and June 19–20 (Gurugram).
WHEN IS MICROSOFT BUILD 2026?
Microsoft Build is scheduled for June 2–3, 2026 in San Francisco. Build //localhost events follow Build to bring the content to local communities worldwide.
WHAT IS BUILD //LOCALHOST?
Build //localhost is a community-led extension of Microsoft Build where local leaders host in-person events after Build using a Microsoft-provided content package — keynote video, breakout sessions, and workshops — plus Azure credits to support hands-on labs.
WHO IS THE AUDIENCE?
Developers. The program is designed for developer communities aligned to Build's focus areas — especially enterprise developers and AI developers — with an emphasis on practical, hands-on learning.
IS IT FREE TO ATTEND?
Yes. Build //localhost events are free, community-organized, and in-person. RSVP is required as venues have limited capacity.
IS FOOD PROVIDED?
Yes — lunch is on us. Stay through the full day; we've got you covered. Tea, coffee, and refreshments are also available throughout the event. Let us know in your RSVP if you have dietary preferences.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
Yes — a laptop is compulsory. These are hands-on workshops, and you'll be writing real code, deploying agents, and shipping with Azure during the session. Bring your charger too — the day runs long and outlets get crowded.
