June 2026 Free Microsoft Events, Training, and Workshops

Welcome to summer, friends! I'm finishing up this month's event newsletter from the airport, on my way to Microsoft Build in San Francisco. I'm excited for the opportunity to not only attend my first Build in-person, but to co-present a session with one of my teammates.

If you're reading this on the first couple of days of June, you can still register for the free online sessions.
