Today is day 2 of the #MVPSummit, with the opening keynote as the start of the day. And of course, we can't share any of that because we are under NDA. For me, the real value is in the coffee talks, the connections with fellow MVP's and engineers building the products we work with on a daily basis.
Some great days already in Paris with friends. Today is St. Patrick's day! 🍀 And a nice run this morning through the parc!
