The Microsoft First League program is a project by Microsoft to support their most hardcore fans. The announcement was made a few months ago together with the release of the accompanying website and it appears that fans residing in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Poland, Hungary, and Greece are eligible to participate. No word yet if this program will be expanded to other countries.

The program is supposed to bring some exclusivities and luxurious privileges to the most extreme Microsoft fans out there as a thank you from the company for their efforts and loyalty. Some of the privileges include:

Direct Connection: Microsoft’s First League is a fan program created for you. It’s managed directly by Microsoft employees. This means you will have first-hand information regarding latest product news and exclusive Skype Calls with our Microsoft team.

People who submitted their applications around two months ago have now started to receive their confirmations and congratulations for getting accepted into the program. I tweeted about the event and about getting accepted a short while ago, showing a part of the email that Microsoft’s Jakub Rzany has sent out to the lucky winners residing in Poland meanwhile members from other supported countries received their emails from the corresponding Microsoft employees.

Just got accepted to the #Microsoft First League program. I will be attending the 17th of December #event in #Warsaw so wish me good luck. pic.twitter.com/RABxYvWo2b — Dennis Bednarz (@DennisBednarz) December 9, 2016

As you can see in the tweet above there is a date that says 17.12.2016. Assuming you don’t understand Polish, the email is not only a confirmation of getting accepted into the program but an invite to an event in Warsaw on the 17th of December 2016.

The email continues with the schedule, address and time for the event which I, unfortunately, cannot show because of privacy concerns but I can reveal the content of the event itself:

Introduction: The guests will be welcomed and some tea and coffee will be served

Part two Transport: Preparation and the trip for Wind Tunnel activities

Preparation, equipment and a small course for the Wind Tunnel activities Activity: Wind Tunnel Activities

Wind Tunnel Activities Summarise: Summarising of the event

Summarising of the event Transport: Transport back to the Microsoft Poland headquarters

Transport back to the Microsoft Poland headquarters End: Closure of the event

As you see, Microsoft has prepared an awesome day, free of charge, for their beloved fans. They even pay for the transport to and from the event and for the parking fee.

This is a very unusual schedule as the Product Presentations include no information or details other than they will happen. Keeping in mind that the Microsoft First League (MFL) has a “Loan Program” which will allow the members to test out different hardware before everyone else, this event may include some secret reveal which we don’t know about yet, or it could simply include products like the Surface Studio, HoloLens, Windows 10 Creators Update and other recently announced Microsoft products.

The aerodynamic Wind Tunnel activities are actually a huge surprise. This part of the event isn’t related to Microsoft’s technology and is included purely for entertainment purposes which are very welcome but also very unexpected.

I will be there to attend the event, proudly representing our brand and will make sure that everything even remotely interesting will be reported on.
