Microsoft’s annual Build conference is upon us, and it promises to be a monumental one. Windows 10 and Windows Phone just scratch the surface — we learned more about HoloLens, the next version of Office, and Microsoft’s cross-platform mobile and cloud initiatives yesterday, and there’s doubtless a lot more coming. Needless to say, this year’s conference isn’t one you’re going to want to miss.

We’ll be covering Microsoft’s announcements exhaustively, but you can watch the action unfold live from San Francisco’s Moscone Center at the official Build site. The keynote’s scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. EST.
