Part 1: Arrival (Day 0).

I won an invitation to the WPC 2015 in Orlando, this is a major conference that wecomes about 15 000 partners worldwide.

“This annual event brings together leaders, innovators, and visionaries from the Microsoft partner ecosystem to connect, share insights, and build partnerships that matter. You’ll hear from Microsoft leaders, learn how other partners are transforming their businesses to meet cloud and mobility needs for customers, and have opportunities to engage with the Microsoft team.” (ref)
