Build 2020
This year things have changed. The effects of the coronavirus epidemic turned the event into a fully digital experience, with live sessions throughout the two days.
Microsoft generally uses this conference to discuss developer-specific products and services, but this year the conference is not going to have the same formula as it has in the past.
The emphasis is less on software, but also on Windows or Office and Microsoft products or even on applied computing.

Conclusion
In conclusion, in the future, technological events will never be the same again. Some will cease to exist, others will change radically and, that some will remain as they were, only better.
It remains to be seen how each tech company will transform its conference into a virtual conference. Developer summer conferences are often a place for conferences and announcements, but they are also essential for developers who have the chance to mingle with engineers working on and between large platforms.
