Other community experts

We want to celebrate all community experts, regardless of their status as Microsoft MVPs or primary focus areas. One of the best things about working in IT is the feeling of togetherness and spending time with other people that share the same interest. Community experts do not just have incredible knowledge but also the desire to help others learn by sharing information and hosting community events.

Without community togetherness, the IT world wouldn’t be so fun to be part of. Thanks to everyone for being awesome! We know there are more people than on this list; sorry to the people we missed.
