Last Day.
At the heart of the Microsoft, at the MVP Global Summit 2024, a select group of Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) met for a week dedicated to the fusion of in-depth technical insights, strategic discussions, and enriching social exchanges. Held under a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to safeguard the exclusivity of shared innovations, the summit promised an environment where groundbreaking ideas could flourish away from the public eye. While the specifics of the sessions remain a privileged secret, the divergent experiences of Jan-Tore and Marius, two esteemed MVPs, offer a glimpse into the summit’s unique impact.
At the summit, our MVPs Jan-Tore and Marius were immersed in a host of critical technology domains. Jan-Tore spent his time engaged in deep discussions and sessions around Azure, Azure Stack HCI, Windows Server, and Datacenter innovations. His explorations centered on the seamless integration of cloud and on-premises environments, key for modernizing data centers and developing hybrid solutions that respond to the dynamic needs of businesses today.
In parallel, Marius focused on the vital aspects of device management, security, and identity within the Microsoft ecosystem, concentrating on enhancing security protocols through Microsoft Entra ID and fine-tuning device management with Microsoft Intune, fortifying his stance on robust security and efficient IAM strategies.
Marius, despite being bound by personal commitments that prevented physical attendance at the Microsoft Campus, embraced the virtual format of the MVP Global Summit 2024 with enthusiasm. From a serene retreat high up in the Norwegian mountains, Marius delved into the summit’s offerings, ensuring the distance did nothing to dampen the spirit of collaboration and learning. This remote setup not only showcased Spirhed’s flexibility and commitment to inclusivity but also painted a picture of how technology bridges gaps, bringing the global community together, no matter where one might find themselves.
In contrast, Jan-Tore, traveling abroad, seized the full spectrum of opportunities, engaging directly with product managers and developers in a dynamic exchange of ideas. Through their stories, we explore not only the tangible benefits of attending such a prestigious gathering but also the unforeseen consequences of absence, painting a comprehensive picture of the MVP Global Summit 2024.

What´s an MVP?
Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are technology experts who have been recognized by Microsoft for their deep commitment to sharing high-quality, real-world expertise and their community contributions. MVPs are a diverse group of individuals from various backgrounds and professions including developers, IT professionals, and tech enthusiasts, who actively share their knowledge and experience with the wider community. They write articles, blogs, books, and online content; they speak at conferences, webinars, and user group meetings; and they answer questions on forums and social media.
Their contributions help others maximize the potential of their Microsoft technology and tools. In return, Microsoft provides MVPs with early access to software, invitations to exclusive events, and direct communication channels with product teams. The MVP Award is both an acknowledgment of exceptional community contributions and a way for Microsoft to foster a vibrant ecosystem where information is freely exchanged.
