Next month, Microsoft will hold two important conferences focused on software development, one in Orlando and the other in San Francisco, namely TechEd North America and Windows Phone Developer Summit.

This year marks the 20th annual TechEd conference for the North American continent, being the most important Microsoft conference on technology.

Microsoft is inviting IT professionals and developers to the conference, so as to provide them with technical details on its current and soon-to-be-released products.

At the conference, the Redmond-based software giant plans on offering details on products that include cloud computing, Windows 8, Windows Intune and more.

“This year’s event will feature keynotes on June 11 from Microsoft’s Server and Tools president Satya Nadella as well as corporate vice presidents Jason Zander and Brad Anderson, who will discuss Microsoft’s cloud strategy and enterprise technology news,” the company announced.

“On June 12, Windows Web Services’ corporate vice president Antoine Leblond will deliver a keynote, followed by a press event with members of the Windows commercial team focused heavily on demos of Windows 8, Windows Intune and MDOP products.”

In early June, Microsoft will make available the Release Preview flavor of Windows 8, and might offer additional details on the platform’s release during TechEd.

Between June 20th - 21st, builders of mobile applications can join Microsoft’s Windows Phone Developer Summit, which is planned for San Francisco.

“Join us to learn about developer opportunities and platform capabilities in Windows Phone,” Microsoft notes in the invitation sent out to journalists.

The company did not offer further info on what it might discuss at the event, but some suggest that we might get a glimpse at the upcoming Windows Phone 8 platform.

Microsoft has already confirmed that developers will have their existing Windows Phone apps running on the upcoming platform without much effort, and chances are that it might offer further details on the matter at the conference.
