Microsoft Build //localhost: Colombo
π Friday, 19 June 2026 today
One-day, in-person Microsoft Build //localhost stop in Colombo focused on building and deploying real-world AI on Azure with Microsoft Foundry and GitHub Copilot.
Microsoft Build //localhost: Colombo is a one-day, in-person developer event in the Microsoft Build //localhost:Asia series, held at the IIT School of Computing (GP Square Building) in Colombo on 19 June 2026. It is built for developers and cloud engineers who want to design, build, and deploy real-world AI solutions on Azure, with a hands-on, implementation-focused format rather than a keynote showcase.
From the official Microsoft Reactor page, attendees can expect key takeaways and announcements carried over from Microsoft Build 2026, a deep dive into Azure AI and generative-AI use cases, live demos with Microsoft Foundry and GitHub Copilot, and guided labs to build and test AI-powered features end to end. The agenda emphasises practical developer workflows and best practices for shipping AI applications, plus networking with the local AI developer community. Listed speakers are Nikila Fernando and Fiqri Ismail.
For an AIWhatsOn reader, the value is the local, ground-level view of Microsoft's current AI developer stack (Foundry, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI) and how the post-Build 2026 announcements translate into working code. Registration on the Reactor page had reached capacity with a waitlist option at the time of verification, so plan accordingly.
