An invitation to the Sept. 21 show in New York City went out to the media Aug. 17. Microsoft hasn't provided many details about the event, but said Monday that it'll share AI innovations and the latest on Microsoft 365, Bing, Windows, Surface and more.

In October last year, Microsoft had a show focusing on its Surface hardware. The company unveiled the Surface Pro 9, the Surface Laptop 5 and the Surface Studio 2 Plus.

Microsoft continues to make AI a focus for the company, incorporating AI chat into its Edge browser and Bing search engine. It also launched a tool called Windows Copilot, which brings an AI chat interface to Windows. Microsoft could be looking to make AI a fixture in its other products.

September should be a big month for tech company events. Apple is expected to hold an event in September to reveal the next iPhone. And Meta and Google tend to have their own events around the same time as well.
