MVP Conf 2025: A Community-Driven Tech Experience That Surprised Me

Posted on by 1,013 Moderator

MVP Conf is one of Brazil’s largest community-driven technology conferences, created in 2018 by Microsoft MVPs. What sets it apart isn’t just the high-quality content — it’s the heart behind it. The entire event is organized by volunteers, and 100% of ticket revenue is donated to charitable institutions. It’s a space where tech meets purpose, and where professionals gather to learn, share, and give back.

 

A Surprise Twist

I arrived at MVP Conf 2025 planning to be a listener. I was excited to attend sessions in the Business Application track, especially those focused on Power Platform, and connect with others in the community. But then came a twist: one of the speakers couldn’t make it, and I was invited to step in.

 

It felt like being a football player called off the bench mid-game — no warm-up, no prep time. I accepted the challenge and jumped in to present my case study on Supply Chain solutions using Power Platform, showing how Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI can solve real-world business challenges with agility and intelligence.

 

The Power of Community

Sharing that story with a room full of engaged professionals was an incredible moment. But what really stuck with me was the atmosphere: the energy, the generosity, the sense of belonging. MVP Conf isn’t just about tech — it’s about people. It’s about community. And it’s about using what we know to make a difference.

 

Why It Matters

Beyond the sessions and networking, MVP Conf has a deeper mission. It was created to share technical knowledge, connect people, and generate a positive impact on Brazil through technology. Every speaker, organizer, and volunteer contributes their time and expertise to make it happen — and the social impact is real.

Looking Ahead

I left the event feeling inspired, grateful, and more connected than ever. Already looking forward to the next edition — and whatever surprises it might bring.
