MongoDB has been recognizing a current MongoDB Certified Professional who demonstrates ingenuity and expertise as the MongoDB Certified Professional of the Year since 2013. The organization wants to learn from the success of its certified professionals by sharing their stories, which can be interesting and compelling enough to win a free trip to the MongoDB Europe 2018 conference in London. A submission process is open until October 4, 2018, where individuals can share their story about how becoming MongoDB Certified has affected their life, big or small. The winner will receive a prize that includes a flight, conference pass, and hotel accommodation as part of the recognition.
