MCT Summit Redmond

Last week (April 16-18) myself and many of my team members attended the MCT Summit in Redmond.  I've had my notes from the event and haven't had a chance to until now to provide some of my observations from the event.

Highlights
Met a lot of friendly folks and had some great discussions on the direction of Microsoft Official Courseware (MOC).
Lively discussion as always from MCTs in attendance.
Early look at the upcoming Longhorn training content.
I got a boomerang from the Prometric booth. Cool.

In case I haven't described to you exactly what I do, I am currently the Product Manager responsible for our internal initiative codenamed: KonaH.  This initiative is aimed at steadily evolving our MOC product to take into account student and partner (MCT, CPLS) feedback, while improving and enhancing the student, MCT and CPLS experience.  Sharon made a great presentation about the future of our courseware products and during this session, she spoke about the KonaH initiative.  I spent a lot of my time during the summit speaking with MCTs that had very useful comments, observations and feedback for what we're working on.  A lot of this feedback has been used to refine the product.  More on KonaH in upcoming posts.

This was the first MCT summit in North America in over 7 years!  Let's hope that we don't have to wait that long again, as it seemed as though it was a great success.

  I missed that. So, I may need to wait 7 or more years for this event to be arranged again. SAD!
