MVP Summit Thoughts

Yes I know that I'm late but here are my thoughts about the MVP Summit 2004.

In the past, I attended on numerous Microsoft conferences like TechEd and PDC but this was my first MVP Summit.  Being an RD, I was invited to attend this year.  The dynamic is really different from the big conferences.  The first thing I noticed was that everybody seams to know everybody maybe because you find MVPs for different Microsoft products and technologies and they know everyone in their group.  It’s fun to hear and participate in conversations.

The thing that stroked me the most is the interaction between MVPs and Microsoft.  MS is really relying on MVPs to provide feedback and you can sense the openness (something you don’t necessary have at TechEd or the PDC).

It also was my first visit in Seattle and on the Microsoft Campus.  I loved the scenery and the trees.  I found that the downtown area is very clean and that it has life.

In my opinion, it was a week well spent meeting great MVPs and RDs and learning cool stuff.  Now with some cool things that we saw:  (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep).
