MVP Nation 2012 today announced the world’s first Windows 8 focused conference will be available live via a global broadcast. Virtual attendees can register for the event, which runs from March 2-3, at mvp.smbnation.com.
MVP Nation offers attendees the rare opportunity to learn from Microsoft’s very own MVPs in a deeply technical environment. This year’s conference focuses heavily on Windows 8 and will provide attendees with a hands-on opportunity to create their own Windows 8 road map. IT Professionals will benefit from direct interaction with Microsoft’s leading Windows 8 trained MVPs, who come to MVP Nation fresh from Microsoft’s private MVP Summit event.
The new MVP Nation broadcast offering makes it easier and cheaper than ever for IT professionals to benefit from the expertise of Microsoft’s MVPs and learn the latest on Windows 8 and Windows Server 8.
Harry Brelsford, founder and chairman of SMB Nation, expressed his excitement about taking MVP Nation virtual: “There’s something magic about attending MVP Nation—or any good conference—in person. But what we’re hearing from community members is that even though MVP Nation offers amazing value and they want to come, they just can’t justify the travel time, airfare and lodging expenses associated with attending a conference. Taking MVP Nation virtual is a game changer. It makes the event accessible to everyone, everywhere.”
Brelsford shared additional information about the event—and a bit of advice: “After our first MVP Nation last year in Seattle, we’re back with a focused two-day deep dive into everything Windows 8. The primary emphasis will be on Windows Server 8 topics, but we’re also addressing desktop, mobility and tablet issues. This event is for everyone who wants a deeply technical experience. We liken it to graduate school for geeks and joke that no wimps are allowed at our two-day event”
The MVP Nation team is confident enough in the value offered by their conference that they have introduced a new 110% money-back guarantee for any attendee who is not completely satisfied with the virtual conference experience.
According to Brelsford, “We challenge any Windows-focused IT professional to give MVP Nation a try. If it’s not everything an attendee hoped for, we’re happy to extend a full refund plus 10%. And why not? – with the new webcast option, attendees don’t even need to leave their home.”
