The conference will open with a keynote lead by Satya Nadella (opens in new tab), who will give a general overview of the company’s plans for AI and how developers can leverage AI models to enhance their own apps and services using things like the Microsoft Graph.
Additional breakout sessions will dive in further, with CVP Panos Panay and EVP Rajesh Jha leading a session (opens in new tab) that will talk more about how developers can leverage the power of Microsoft 365, Windows, and the Microsoft Graph to develop next generation AI applications.
There are also announcements around the ONNX runtime (opens in new tab), along with related tools that will help developers integrate an AI model into Windows apps. Microsoft is even making it easier to see an overview of your developer workstations with a new “Dev Home” app.
