LIVE from Microsoft's MVP Summit with JD - Jonathan D'Aloia

Ever wonder what actually happens at Microsoft's MVP Summit?

Azure MVP Jonathan D'Aloia gives us the low down...

Well, more of a feel for what it's all about... the event and MVP's are under NDA after all!

We covered a lot of ground though...

➡️ JD’s path to becoming an MVP, specialising in Infrastructure as Code with Bicep & Terraform

➡️ Real-world advice on building AI-ready data platforms using Azure Databricks, Fabric, and Synapse

➡️Tips for aspiring MVPs, how to start contributing, find your niche, and deal with imposter syndrome

➡️ What really happens at the MVP Summit: product feedback loops, deep dives with Microsoft product teams, and the power of in-person connection

➡️The story behind launching the Surrey Azure User Group

JD’s biggest takeaway?

Community is a game-changer. Whether it’s joining a user group, sharing knowledge online, or just connecting with others in the ecosystem... it all compounds.

🎧 Give this one a listen if you’re building solutions on Azure, eyeing the MVP program, or simply want to get a feel for what the MVP Summit is all about!
