The day looks to be full of a combination of presentations and activities, all aimed to showcase Microsoft’s latest products. Some of the activities include fashion illustrator Kerrie Hess illustrating live on the Surface Pro 4, photo opportunities with characters from the Xbox One game Halo 5: Guardians, a Base Body Babes fitness working using the Microsoft Band 2, and special performances by Ellie Drennan and Jessie J at the nearby State Theatre. We’ll be sure to report on any announcements, if any, coming out of the event so make sure to check back soon for more.
