MVP Global Summit 2009 is less than a week away, and I’m ready for my first one.

Microsoft invites its Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) to the summit. It runs from March 1 through 4. The venues are the Washington State Convention & Trade Center in Seattle and Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

This year’s event is a chance to network with technical peers and build stronger ties with the Microsoft product teams. It’s also a chance to represent our communities by sharing real-world insight and feedback.

Here’s my travel itinerary:

  • Feb 27, 2009: Departing Ahmedabad to Mumbai
  • Feb 28, 2009: Departing Mumbai to Seattle Sheraton Hotel
  • March 1, 2009: Day 1 at MVP Summit
  • March 2, 2009: Day 2 at MVP Summit
  • March 3, 2009: Day 3 at MVP Summit
  • March 4, 2009: Day 4 at MVP Summit
  • March 5, 2009: Departing Seattle to Toronto
  • March 6, 2009: Tech User Group Meeting, Markham, Canada
  • March 7, 2009: Departing Toronto to Mumbai
  • March 8, 2009: Missing day due to crossing the International Date Line
  • March 9, 2009: Arriving in Ahmedabad

If you’re a blog reader and you’d like to meet and talk about technology, please send me an email. We’ll set up a time.

What I Hope to Take From It

Meeting product teams and other MVPs in person is different from email. A question that takes weeks to settle by email can be answered in one conversation. I’m looking forward to those conversations.

SQL Server slow? Let's fix it together in about four hours.

You keep every script, and the know-how to fix it yourself next time.

Want your whole team to learn it?

My Practical Workshop has no PowerPoint, just live demos. My AI Enablement Workshop shows your team where AI saves hours, and where it quietly costs them.

Over 400 customers have worked with me this way, and not one shared a password. See all consulting options.
