  4. Don‘t force anything, just be professional and provide quality speakers and sessions. AND it must be a networking event too!Don‘t blow the opportunity! Waisting people time!If you get pepole to your event, you have probably doing a good job, which is great! But! Once you get pepole to your event, you need to be professional! You need to underestand that if you unprofessional, unprepared, you are waisting peoples time and your community wont trust you and you will really guickly loos them!How to be professional: Check slides before sessions and do a demo presentation with junior speakers and correct them by providing them guidelines to improve slides, be professional and prepared, demand high quality from speakers! With that you are doing a favour to yourself, speakers and the community. It‘s better to cancel the session is better than having a lame session. Make it social at the beginning of the session and at the end with mingl events.... It‘s a conversation, you are not the salles man and, you are providing only the best independent, I repete I N D E P E N D E N T information about the best solutions to your community, even if the solution is not from Microsoft! You don‘t need to know everything! People are smart and they will figure out that you are bulshiting them. It‘s better to say I don‘t know instead providing false information!! Admid it if you don‘t know, just say I don‘t know, I can check it for you if you want details!
  5. In community progress happens in months, years not over night
  6. Hiqly inteligent people withouth a vision are like birds without wings
  7. The best way to predict future is to make it on your own, you are the driver for your future
