This year at #WPC14 I have to say that I'm so darned excited I can barely sit still. There is so much going on and so many countries, people, ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, initiatives for Women in Technology, support for the gay/lesbian community and soccer fans who will argue who is going to win the cup today. Those of you who know me know I'm as straight as they come and two very important initiatives that I support and fund are that for the gay/lesbian community as well as youth education and foster care.
I had the privilege of supporting two of my initiatives this year by supporting RyanTech's donation in the Partners for Good Challenge to raise money for YouthSpark and in doing so I get to not only meet, but announce Tyler Glenn of the Neon Trees on stage who is from my home town of Utah.
Tyler Glenn's story extends past the "Mormon" Cliche and ties closely to another of my favorite artists, Morrissey. If you'd like to read about Tyler's story you can do so here and I recommend it: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neon-trees-tyler-glenn-gay-mormon-and-finally-out-20140325
So I'm about to land at DCA and can't wait to see all of these partners and executives from Microsoft and show our support for youth, education, freedom of choice in so many ways and learn from the best of the best.
When we launch the Partner Celebration party on Wednesday night, be ready for a great concert and wonderful fun and when I announce the Neon Trees on stage there is a contest going on. If you tweet to @ryantechkevin with a picture of the concert and you include @tylerinacoma and @neontrees in your tweet you will be entered to win $1,000 that you can either keep for yourself or donate to the Partners for Good Challenge with Youthspark.
Don't forget to include #wpc14 in your tweet!
Thank you for the opportunities Microsoft! Our BEST partner!
