And that was the 2026 #MVPSummit for me! Although there were some post-event sessions today, I choose to sleep in, relax and visit the Bellevue Botanical Gardens on this beautiful sunny day.

Preparing for the flight back home tomorrow morning and to digest and reflect on things experienced and learned this week. And as almost always the case, I valued the in-person interactions outside of sessions the most. Happy little accidents that rarely happen virtually.

Therefore I am grateful that I have the time and resources to travel. I appreciate and thank my employer #Rubicon Cloud Advisor for this.

And I would like to thank my fellow MVPs for their effort and commitment and their honest feedback & discussions during and between sessions. Even after 12 years in the program I still keep learning from you! #MVPbuzz

Last but not least, I would like to thank Microsoft Most Valuable Professional #MVPAward for organizing this event and to all #Microsoft PG/PM etc. taking time and effort to interact. I even got to enjoy someone’s home garden and cooking!

Safe travels and perhaps until next year!
