I have had some interesting speaking engagement, which were fun to do and were very fulfilling. I learned a lot through speaking thanks to the community and fellow MVP's.

I would like to thank: My MVP old lead William Jansen, and new MVP lead B irgit Huebsch . The BizTalk Product Team, Mark Mortimore, Guru Venkataraman, Ed Price, Mandi Ohlinger , Allesandro Teglia , Dan Rosanova , Jon Fancey , Paolo Salvatori , and all other Microsoft employees involved.
