Kicking Off the Jamboree 

We are glad to have a unique kickoff of Open Day 2015. We had Regional Manager, Mayumi Suzuki ringing the bell and welcoming all the MVPs. She also shared her experience of visit to India.

 

Now, the question is what we did in the two days of Open Day event. Well we had many technical sessions from Azure to Websites to Windows 10 to UX Design Best practices to O365 to Open Source Strategies and many more:

Thanks to all the speakers and volunteers to for making this event successful.

Some of the comments from our MVPs:

“Mayumi's keynote speech was very good and Dr. Nitin's session was awesome. I personally enjoyed his session a lot.”

“The star or Day 2 is "Pramila". The session was awesome and I have learned a lot from her. She is amazing. She showed us what the meaning of “Motivation and Inspiration” is. She is a living motivation.”

“The best in the lot was Doc's session, nothing can be compared with his session. As usual Pramila, Tulika, Puneet were also good and enjoyed a lot.”

“My biggest takeaways: 1. Met lots of experts 2. Met lots of MS employees 3. Attended excellent sessions. 4. A great session by Pramila (which would be my best takeaway though) 5. Excellent goodies from MS that would be memorable forever 6. Great moments .......”
