Microsoft will launch a new Windows Insider MVP influencer program in the spring of 2017.
Microsoft has been
revamping its Most Valuable Professional (MVP) influencer program over the past few months.
The Windows and Devices team on Friday announced its plans for consumer-focused MVPs, with the creation of a
Windows Insider MVP Program.
Microsoft officials previously said MVPs who were not in the Developer and IT Pro arenas would
move to new influencer programs managed by the respective product teams. That meant Xbox, ID@Xbox, Bing Ads, Windows and Devices, Windows Experience, Windows Phone, Consumer Security, and Surface MVPs would be moved to new, and at that point, publicly-unspecified programs.
"While we are working directly with existing MVPs as they transition into the new program, for our most engaged Insiders, t
he opportunity to become a Windows Insider MVP will come early in 2017 and will be unveiled this fall. Stay tuned for future announcements," said Dona Sarkar, chief of the Windows Insider program, in a July 1 blog post.
