Microsoft Build //localhost Encore: Timisoara

Something extraordinary is happening right now. AI agents are writing code, running companies, diagnosing diseases, and negotiating contracts — without being asked twice. In the last 18 months, the world's largest technology companies have crossed a threshold they've spent decades approaching: machines that don't just answer questions, but act. Autonomously. At scale. Microsoft Build 2026 revealed what's next. And for the first time, that conversation is coming to Timișoara. localhost Encore is Microsoft's global community series — an invitation for cities around the world to host the ideas, the demos, and the people who are actually building this future. Timișoara is one of the chosen stops. This is not a conference about AI. This is AI, in the room, live — shown by the engineers who built it.Join us for Microsoft Build: localhost — Timișoara, a community event bringing the best of Microsoft Build 2026 directly to Timișoara.
