Microsoft Build is jam-packed full of the latest technologies, tips and inspiration. Whether you attend the conference in-person or remotely to learn more about Windows 10, Azure, Office 365, HoloLens or to simply get some advice on how to scale in the cloud, it’s equally important to follow up and nurture relationships with decision makers and the people who influence them.
Below, we’ve identified some great people to help you get more out of your Build experience. These top insiders are Microsoft team members, Microsoft MVPs, influencers, writers, editors and analysts who can best explain the latest announcements and potentially impact your success.
We created this list to make it easy for you to be nimble and connect effectively with the many people you’ve at the conference as well as with community members you’ve already connected with digitally via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn email or virtual meetings.
Methodology – How We Built This List
This list was compiled using Nimble, a simple social sales and marketing relationship management add-in to Office 365 and other cloud productivity suites. Nimble makes it easy to identify and manage people that are impacting your business. We compiled a preliminary list of over 1,000 people talking about the Microsoft Build 2017 conference on Twitter using the hashtags #MSBuild and #Build2017. Next, we used the Nimble Smart Contacts app to import the Twitter lists into Nimble which automatically enriched each Twitter contact with their personal and company details. We then used the enriched details and data in Nimble to whittle our list down to the top 60 everyone should follow at MSBuild.
“We looked around and no one has really tried to come up with a list that made sense of the experts in the Microsoft Build community,” said Nimble CEO Jon Ferrara. “Like any list, we may not have captured everyone, but these individuals captured our attention.”
We include three categories in this list, “Influencer, Writer, Editor, Analyst”, “Microsoft Team Members” and “MVPs”. People in the individual categories are listed in alphabetical order.
