It was my first ever experience to
participate in Microsoft's event outside Sri Lanka. My experience as a
“first-timer” attending the South East Asia's MVP community connection, along
with few other MVPs from my country. MVP Community Connection is a day to
connect, learn, inspire and celebrate the local MVP community and MS employees.
It was an exclusive event especially organized for Asia
pacific MVPs. The intention is to have all MVPs from different region join
there and have a great time with others. There were some interesting sessions
and networking between each other.
From
the moment I got off the plane at the Soekarno–Hatta International Airport
Airport, I was very excited about the event. I was the first to
arrive AYANA Midplaza JAKARTA 2 hours prior to the event. From the
registration, greeted by Microsoft mvp tshirt and I was escorted to pick
up my personal registration badge and Wahoo!.
First day started with lunch at the Hotel. Everyone had a
very good time introducing ourselves in 1 minute with other MVPs. There
were totally around 50 MVPs from various countries in south east Asia and we
were snuffled and divided into 7 teams for various activities and sessions. It
was really awesome to meet with other MVPs and get some inputs, their works and
other things related to personal and professional life. Later with a key
note from Soyoung Lee, Community Program Manager on "MVPs for the
year 2017 and latest updates". Then we
had hack a plan session on various topics such as "Emerging
Technologies", "Developer Field
Presentation" etc andone of the best moment was the group photo .
Later in the evening we were out for dinner where we
had Indonesian varieties of food and MVPs were involved in presenting
their culture in various ways. Finally everyone had a great time and fun
on the first day. Second day, it started with a fantastic breakfast and a
team activity , later there were very productive intense discussions
to improve MVP engagement within the Partner network. The day ended with a
award ceremony where everyone who attended the session was given away with a
cool gift. It was a tremendous experience I
had at MVP community connect event at Jakarta,Indonesia. There were lots of
things that i could learn from various MVPs. Also it created a very good
channel with all other MVPs.
