Thanks, MVP’s! 2015 Microsoft MVP Virtual Conference

Long before I became an MVP and long before I even knew what an MVP was I relied on the sage advice of a number of MVP’s to help me solve many vexing IT headaches.  People like Susan Bradley (the former SBSDiva), Philip Edler (MPECS) and many others helped me slog through the intricacies of SBS installs and they felt like “friends” even though we hadn’t met.  Many others helped, as well, with server, SQL, Exchange and storage questions.  I learned to rely on the advice from the MVP’s as they tended to be in the same trenches as me – deep with the walls caving in!  They became, and remain, a trusted resource.  I quite honestly don’t know how I would have made it through some of the darker IT horror shows without their help.

So, to all of you MVP’s, past and present, thank you so very much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experiences with the rest of us.  I am very humbled to be part of your ranks and I hope you know how much your help has meant to so many of us out in the field.

And that brings me to my next point; Microsoft is presenting the 2015 Microsoft MVP Virtual Conference online May 14 – 15, 2015!
