The 2012 MVP Global Summit Announcement

I know everyone has been waiting for this.  So I am pleased to announce plans for the upcoming 2012 MVP Global Summit which will be held in Bellevue and the Microsoft campus from
February 28 – March 2, 2012.

This is my favorite event of the year it’s a chance to hang out with all my friends and learn about the stuff that has changed in their lives since the previous year and the stuff that’s going to change all of lives next year. I know we all tweet and use Facebook. But hanging out discussing Microsoft technology with other professionals as passionate and opinionated about technology  as I am, makes this my favorite event.

I am just honored to be a part of the group…

Thank you Microsoft for making this possible….

-Ivan
