If you follow Tigunia on social media, or if you participate in any of the social media conversations regarding Microsoft Dynamics 365, business intelligence, and/or cybersecurity, you’ve probably heard of the Community Summit North America conference.
And if you haven’t, Community Summit is the world’s largest independent gathering of the Microsoft business applications ecosystem. This year’s Summit will be held at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida, on October 10-13
People go to Summit because they don’t want to mess around trying to patch things together by learning online, especially when it is not making them more productive.
Additionally, the Summit committee is optimizing and curating the sessions this year. This means that no matter where you are in your Microsoft journey, the format can make it easy for you to see a return on the cost to attend. Even better, you can do it in a week, rather than attend numerous online webinars and training sessions over the course of months. You can learn to make the most of your Microsoft Dynamics investment and give your team the tools they need to grow and thrive.
Speaking of helping your team thrive, Tigunia will be at Booth 801 to discuss any challenges your business may be facing. Come by to chat and sign up for one of our exclusive Summit 2022 offers:
