The event is likely going to be when Microsoft announces the next version of its Surface tablet, the so-called Surface Pro 4. The Surface Pro hasn't been updated since spring of 2014. Now that Windows 10 is here, it's a good time for Microsoft to release some new hardware.

It's not just going to be the Surface Pro, though.

According to Mary Jo Foley of CNET, Microsoft will announce the Surface tablet, two new smartphones running Windows 10, and an updated version of the Microsoft Band fitness tracker.

Finally, we should also get a release date for the mobile version of Windows 10, which is designed for smartphones. Windows 10 is designed to work on all kinds of devices, but right now it's only available for PCs and some tablets.
