What is MVP Reconnect

What is the MVP Reconnect Program all about?

At Microsoft, we believe that even though some MVPs are not always re-awarded, they still deserve recognition for being a valuable part of the Microsoft ecosystem. We believe that once an MVP, you’re always part of the MVP community! The MVP Reconnect program was designed to allow our former MVPs to be part of the extended community through this alumni program.

Who can join?

MVP Reconnect is open to all former MVPs, regardless of technical recognition area. Members must be in good standing, meaning that they must have no Code of Conduct or NDA violations. Simply put, if you are a former MVP, we'd love for you to join!

Why should I join?

MVP Reconnect is the official channel for you to stay connected to other MVP alumni. You will have the opportunity to participate in an exclusive networking channel, events, and private discussions to continue that community feeling and energy that you experienced as an MVP. This is not a program from Microsoft to the community; this is a program where the MVP alumni community contributes together to share ideas, provide feedback, and create new conversations for those who join after you.

How do I join?

The program is open to all former MVPs. You can join the program by filling out the membership request form here. We will follow up soon after with an official registration email. Supplying your MVP ID and the primary email you used during your tenure will help expedite the validation process. After you are approved in the program, we will send you a small thank you gift to show our appreciation.
