In January we shared some http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_blog/archive/2012/01/24/thinking-about-developer-events.aspx thoughts on our approach to developer events, including a commitment to come back with more on our plans for an event this coming fall. Well, here it is: our next developer conference will be this fall, and its (again) called BUILD. It will be held on Microsofts campus in Redmond, Washington, from October 30<sup>th</sup> until November 2<sup>nd</sup>. Yes, thats right ... its the week after Windows 8 becomes generally available worldwide. And in addition to Windows 8, we will have lots of other stuff to talk about, too: Windows Azure, Windows Phone 8, Windows Server 2012, Visual Studio 2012, and much more. BUILD 2012 will be on the Microsoft campus, and I know what youre thinking ... if its not in some cavernous convention hall, then it must be a dialed-down version of last years event, etc. ... but dont be confused: this will be unlike anything weve held on our corporate campus in a long time. More details to come <img src=http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/images/emoticons/emotion-1.gif?v=c9 alt=Smiley />. And, as we talked about in the January post, if youve gone to a Microsoft developer event, you know that most of the speakers and participants are from our engineering teams, so a campus event puts you in the thick of things along with the engineers directly responsible for our products and the platform opportunities they represent. This ones not to be missed. So what happens next? Well, at 8AM Pacific time on 8.8 (see what we just did there?), we will open registration for BUILD 2012 at http://www.buildwindows.com www.buildwindows.com . At that point, well start sharing details over time about keynoters, sessions, content, and more, but for the time being, http://media.ch9.ms/content/Build2012RegistrationOpen.ics set a reminder for August 8<sup>th</sup>. Thats it for now. Because my thesaurus was unable to suggest a decent synonym for "super excited", lets just say were stoked about BUILD 2012, and we hope to see you there. <img src="http://m.webtrends.com/dcs1wotjh10000w0irc493s0e_6x1g/njs.gif?dcssip=channel9.msdn.com&dcsuri=http://channel9.msdn.com/Feeds/RSS&WT.dl=0&WT.entryid=Entry:RSSView:3fe0a280e7984716a2e5a09801634fd2
