This week I had the opportunity to attend the Microsoft MVP Summit 2016, taking place in Bellevue and Redmond, near Seattle.

It was a very intense week with lots of new people that I got to know and a huge amount of information provided by Microsoft. It makes me proud to be a part of such a vibrant international community.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my company Trivadis for the support in all my community related projects. Special thanks go out to my managers Martin Schreiber and Stefan Gadient.

In addition, I would like to send a special thank you to Thomas Huber who provided the footsteps that I am trying to follow. Thomas, you have and will always be a great inspiration to me.

Since EVERYTHING that Microsoft says, writes or shows at the summit is covered by NDA (non-disclosure-agreement), there is no content on the content that I can share. However, I will share some of the many impressions that I could bring back home.

Fellow MVP Thomas Pentenrieder managed to write the most spot-on Tweet about the summit.
