Microsoft welcomes MVPs of 90 nations
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
A record 1,700 Microsoft enthusiasts and experts are meeting in Seattle this week for the annual MVP Global Summit, a chance to network with one another and with officials of the company around which many of them build their businesses and personal lives.
"Our people come here, they see the big ads -- it's like a legend," said Aurelian Verla, a director of Wygwam, a Microsoft-only consultancy based in the north of France that flew in five of its 19 employees. "It's a good investment, because the goal is to have networking with product managers and developers. That's something we can't do in France," he said.
