Microsoft has revealed the new date for Satya Nadella’s trip to Malaysia. The CEO and Chairman of the world-renowned IT company was originally scheduled to visit Malaysia back in March but the trip was suddenly postponed.

According to Microsoft, Satya will be making his way to Kuala Lumpur in May which will be his first official visit to Malaysia since taking over the CEO role from Steve Ballmer a decade ago. The reason remains the same: to deliver the opening keynote at Microsoft Build: AI Day which has been rescheduled to 2 May.
Here’s the description of the keynote as noted on the mini-site for the event:
Satya will talk about the new era of AI, and the opportunity for every organization in the region to apply advances in technology to shape what comes next for them, for Malaysia, and for society more broadly.
Just like before, his upcoming visit to Malaysia is part of Microsoft Build: AI Day’s Southeast Asia tour. Before the Kuala Lumpur event, the CEO will be at Jakarta on 30 April before making his way up North for Bangkok’s edition of the event on 1 May.
