I am very excited that I'm getting to go to the MVP Summit this year as an official blue badge. Last time I went it was as an MVP. It was a fantastic networking and learning event. Honestly it was one of the biggest perks of being an MVP - aside from working with Rafael Munoz and Michael Fosmire who were the MVP leads that really took care of me. The MVP Summit is a meeting of 2000 or so MVPs from all corners of the world and the product teams. There are things that we saw and provided feedback for 18 months ago that have just been released this year. With these two amazing groups of people at my disposal - my IM list exploded! Those contacts have been some of my closest friends and best business contacts. Any tech question that you might have in the Microsoft world - I probably have a contact that just knows the answer. It's amazing and it has always been a privilege to be considered among that elite group. I really can't even begin to name them all because I know that I'd forget someone but they range from ASP.NET guys to Mobility guys to Tablet guys to language guys.
Of course, now as an official Microsoft employee I'm coming to the MVP Summit representing the field Developer and Platform Evangelism team.
I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of my old friends and meeting new ones.
I'll see those that can make it at Party with Palermo!
