There were three of us Visio MVPs presenting and helping out on the four Visio booths this year, which is one more than usual because Michel Laplane, from France, joined Scott Helmers, from USA, and myself. In general, Michel and I manned the Visio Visual booth, whilst Scott spent time on the Visio Integrated Workflow with Shilpa. Mukul and Abhishek were usually found showing off Visio for Teams, and Dharmanand Singh (Principle Software Engineering Manager ) and Shashank were on the Visio Data Visualizer booth.

Rishabh used to be in the Visio team, but has since moved on within Microsoft.
