Microsoft Build is returning to Seattle in May. Build is the ultimate annual Microsoft developer event, where the most innovative minds in tech meet under one roof to get inspired, create tomorrow, and code the future. The conference takes place May 7–9, 2018, at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington.
The Microsoft Business Application Platform allows you to customize, extend, and build all the apps you need. Build with PowerApps or on top of Dynamics 365 or Power BI to transform the way business gets done and provide everyone with actionable insights.
Building on last year’s success, the Power BI team is expanding the content for this year’s event to include sessions for Power BI, Power BI Embedded, and Custom Visual developers:
Three breakout sessions
- End to end business intelligence with Microsoft Power BI: Bring your applications data to life with Microsoft Power BI advanced data modeling and visualization capabilities. Learn how to load data and build semantic data models which can scale to massive size. Use those models to bring insights to your organization and the users of your application with interactive report and dashboard visualizations.
- Supercharge your app with Power BI Embedded analytics: Help your customers turn insights into action with Power BI Embedded, a service that empowers ISVs and developers to put decision making power directly into their customers’ hands by embedding interactive visuals and analytics into their applications while avoiding the overhead of building analytics from scratch.

Learn how Power BI custom visuals generate a competitive edge for your business, empowering you to create best-of-breed solutions to your customers. Get up to speed with what’s new and what’s coming up for custom visuals.
