Will there be a Build Conference this year? With Windows Blue on the horizon (and Windows 9 following), I hope so!

Most definitely. And Ballmer said it would be bigger, so I would think it would be at Staples again, like it should have been last year.

@Harlequin:My vote would be for Orlando - bout time the east coast got some love (and it is easier for us Brits too)

Hurricane season is July to December...best not to have a conference in Florida

@Harlequin:Maybe it should be in London this year, plenty of space around all those empty Olympic stadiums?

Orlando and Tampa are not generally hit with full on storms. esp. Orlando as it's many miles inland. the areas that get hit most often are Miami and the Keys.
mostly it would just be hot and humid with thunderstorms each day to cool it off.
normal for Florida in the summer.

No matter where the conference going to be, I just wish Microsoft announce it early so people who have limited budget can plan on going early and don't have to keep guessing until late in the year!
-
@hchwa - I agree. It is almost as if they don't want the average corporate developer to have a chance to attend.
I admit my chances would be low anyway. But once budget is locked in, there is little that can be done even if I could convince my boss that it would add value to the company.

Actually I'm still hoping for GoingNative2013, but seems unlikely now.

I moustache you a question, but I'm shaving it for later.

Just so you all know, when I go to a conference they give away diddly-cr@p.
I don't go, they hand out Windows Phone 7s. I don't go, they hand out Lenovo tablets with Windows 8 dev on it. I don't go, they hand out Surfaces and a Nokia phone.
If I do go, like PDC 2005, they hand out nothing. If I do go, like MIX '10, everyone gets a pencil set.
Just as a warning since I'm 99% sure I'll go to the BUILD 2013. -
@Harlequin: If I really had to go, I'd be tempted to go on my own dime because of the possibility of free stuff. I'm a public employee, so if they pay, any swag worth over $50(?) I have to get recorded as property of my employer, and not as a personal device.
