Iām back from MVP Summit 2026, and as usual, it was one of those weeks that leaves your head full, energy levels weirdly high, and coffee intake slightly more aggressive than normal.
What stays with me most after these events is not just the technology itself: it is the people,the conversations.. the reconnecting.
The random hallway chats that somehow turn into deep discussions about products, customers, direction, pain points, ideas, and where everything may be heading next.
There is something genuinely special about being in a place where so many smart, passionate, and experienced people are all bringing their perspective from the real world.
We meet friends you have known for years. We finally meet in person people that sometimes, only knew through Teams, LinkedIn or community calls.
You catch up with folks who have been through the same battles with customers, projects, deadlines, and platform quirks. And that matters.
Because events like this are not just about product sessions,they are about trust, connection, and friendship too.
Over time, those relationships become part of the real value of being in this community.
Of course, there is also the other side of MVP Summit: we get to learn things we cannot publicly disclose.
That can sound frustrating from the outside, but the truth is that it is still incredibly valuable.
Even when we cannot share the schematics, understanding where things are going gives us a better sense of direction. It helps think more clearly about strategy, investments, architecture, timing, and the kinds of decisions that will age well instead of badly.
That is an advantage.
Not in a selfish way, but in a practical one.
It helps us guide clients better. It helps us support partners with more context. It helps us make better calls in our own projects.
…and it helps the community too, because even without disclosing confidential details, we come back sharper, more informed, and better able to connect the dots.
Sometimes the biggest value is not in repeating an announcement: it is in returning with better judgment.
That is one of the things I appreciate the most about thr MVP Summit. It gives us a stronger feel for the direction of travel, and that influences how we advise, how we build, how we plan, and how we help others prepare for what is coming.
Honestly, beyond all of that, I am just grateful.
Grateful to be part of a community that still cares deeply about doing good work and helping others do the same.
So yes, I came back with a lot on my mind, a refueled motivation, and probably a few too many ideas already forming for the months ahead.
Now it is time to turn that energy into something useful. š¤
Stay toon!
