I am attending my first MVP Summit. No, I didn't suddenly become an MVP but as a Regional Director I was invited to come. Overall I would have to say that this is one of the best conferences that I have attended. For one thing it seems that most of the major names in the industry are here. I have see a lot of fellow RDs, many bloggers that I read, and a lot of people that I have seen as authors of books that I like.
Tuesday morning we got to hear from Bill Gates. After his keynote address there was a question and answer period where a lot of interesting and well thought out questions were asked. I have also sat through several sessions on future directions for products. I wish I could tell you all about what is going to happen with the developer tools and SQL but that would violate my NDA so I won't say anything other than I am stoked about the possibilities.
I can hardly wait for MIX and TechEd for some of these plans to become public so I can start talking about them.
