Agenda
Content is delivered via deep technical breakout sessions as well as highly interactive sessions where attendees evaluate plans or share community feedback. Breakout sessions are aligned to the MVP Award Program taxonomy. Although some sessions will be exclusive to specific technologies, most sessions will be open so that you can participate in all areas regardless of award category.
The MVP Global Summit will host technical and interactive breakout sessions from all Award Categories on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Some product groups will offer additional optional activities on Thursday and/or Friday. As a reminder, the event only covers your hotel through Wednesday evening (Sunday – Wednesday, 4 total paid hotel nights). Any additional nights will be at your own cost.

Optional Community Pre-day
Sunday, March 15
The 2020 MVP Global Summit Community Pre-Day will take place at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on Sunday, March 15. As a reminder, this is an optional event; however, your attendance is encouraged as we look forward to starting the week together as one global community! The official event registration and badge pickup will open at 10:00am on Sunday.
Microsoft Community Program Managers (CPMs) will host “Regional Update” sessions from 1:00pm-2:30pm and repeat the session from 3:00pm-4:30pm. In addition to the CPM-led sessions, we’ll be hosting a variety of activities such as:
- Photographers will be onsite if you’re in need of an updated professional headshot.
- Submit and vote on unconference topics. Unconference sessions will take place at Monday evening’s networking event.
- New! The American Red Cross needs our help! We’re excited to partner with The American Red Cross to bring “Missing Maps” to our Community pre-day. In this hands-on activity, you’ll trace satellite imagery that helps disaster responders and humanitarian organizations measure damage, identify priority areas, navigate around damaged roadways and more efficiently deliver aid to people in need. No experience is needed to participate – just bring your laptop! Session sign-ups will be available when the Schedule Builder goes live in February.
