Microsoft MVPs from all around the world have began their descent on Seattle. Tomorrow starts the 2009 Microsoft MVP Global Summit which will run from March 1st thru March 4th.
Having been a Microsoft MVP (for Team System) for only a few months, this is my first Summit and I am happy that I am able to attend. I am not completely sure what to expect but what I hope to get out of it is the opportunity to meet a lot of other software professionals with a passion for technology and learning. Based on my conversation with the first MVP I’ve met so far on this trip, Jay Smith, it doesn’t appear that it is going to be a problem :-)
I also look forward to meeting some of the people that helped develop the technologies that I make use of on a daily basis – e.g. Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server. I have no doubt that I, along with the other attendees, will have plenty of questions to ask. This is a great opportunity to gain knowledge of what’s currently being used today as well as what’s coming down the road. As always, I look forward to sharing this information (barring any NDA’s, of course :-) with fellow co-workers and acquaintances.
