It’s the eve of the Microsoft BUILD 2012 conference where nearly 2,000 registered developers (and designers) are meeting at the Redmond campus to learn the latest about Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 development.
The registration desks opened up this late afternoon where attendees could pick up their badges and show bags. The campus Commons area was also opened up for a buffet dinner and drinks.
Numerous “you are here” signs and maps were also plastered on the ground around campus to help guide attendees navigate the huge and sometimes confusing Microsoft campus.
If the above slideshow doesn’t work, you can view them on Flickr here.
I see Hanselman was already there.
See if you can find Ryan or Travis Loudermilk.
