Starting on Monday, May 19, you can watch live as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella kicks off the company's annual developers conference, Microsoft Build 2025.

This year, Microsoft Build is being hosted in Seattle, and Nadella will join other Microsoft leaders for a series of livestreamed events. The opening keynote is scheduled to take place on May 19 from 12:05 to 2:00 p.m. EST. Nadella will be joined by Microsoft Chieft Technology Officer Kevin Scott for the opening session. According to the official description from Microsoft, "Satya Nadella and Microsoft leaders share how Microsoft is creating new opportunity across our platforms in this era of AI."

How to watch

You can register to participate in Microsoft Build virtually at the Microsoft website. But the easiest way to watch the event is to catch it live on YouTube.

We expect Microsoft Build to include new announcements about Microsoft's ChatGPT-powered AI tool, Copilot. You can also look for "the latest in Copilot, Azure, GitHub, and Windows AI innovations."

The event lineup features several highlights, including the keynote with Nadella, a Day 1 deep dive session titled "Unpacking the Tech," and a live recording of Scott and Mark Learn To...— a podcast that will explore key coding insights and takeaways from the Build event.

On the topic of code, it's worth noting that during his last public appearance, Nadella revealed that AI is now responsible for writing 30% of Microsoft’s code.
