What you need to know

It’s almost that time of year again: Microsoft’s annual developer conference is primed for an exciting three-day stretch in May. As it turns out, theofficial dates—May 25 to May 27—aren’t far off from the datesleaked a few weeks back.

The leaked dates were May 25-57. Now, May 57 doesn’t exist on the calendar, but if we look at it in retrospect, it seems like it might just have been a typo or deliberately incorrect placeholder. Swap the five for a two, and you have the dates that ended up being official.

In case you need a refresher on what the Microsoft Build conference is, here’s Microsoft’s description:

Microsoft Build is where developers, architects, start-ups, and students learn, connect, and code together, sharing knowledge and expanding their skillset, while exploring new ways of innovating for tomorrow.
