Community Summit North America, the largest independent innovation, training, and education event for Microsoft Business Applications, is pleased to announce Microsoft executive speakers, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Partner Preconferences, and Featured Speaker Julia Landauer to the keynote program. The conference takes place October 15-20, 2023, in Charlotte, N.C.

With Microsoft executives like Alfredo Ramirez, GM of GTM for Microsoft Business Applications joining the keynote program and leaders from Product, Engineering, Partner, and Field Teams delivering training and education sessions, Community Summit North America 2023 will feature nearly 50 speakers from Microsoft delivering technology roadmaps, product updates, and in-depth tutorials.

“We are thrilled to have such tremendous support and participation from Microsoft speakers this year,” commented Community Director Pam Misialek. “It is an amazing complement to the 400+ speakers from the community who will be leading more than 600 sessions across the five days of the event!”

Community Summit North America will be preceded by two highly anticipated Preconference sessions on October 16th, both of which are at sell out capacity:

  • AI Summit Preconference will have approximately 250 attendees and include a keynote fireside chat with Microsoft AI and Power Platform leadership. It will also highlight practitioners describing how they have been transforming businesses with AI, as well as Microsoft MVPs sharing insights on ethical AI, app creation, CRM, customer success, and more through Copilot.

“It seems like every discussion surrounds AI today,” explained Cam Sessinger, Editor of Dynamics Communities, “and AI Summit Preconference is the perfect venue to learn from both those on the forefront of developing new AI technologies and practitioners who’ve cracked the code on leveraging AI to drive real business outcomes.”

  • Partners Preconference, created in collaboration with Microsoft Partner and Field experts, is a half-day program starting at 1pm. It includes a Dynamics Fiscal Year 2024 strategy keynote featuring Microsoft execs Cecilia Flombaum and Steve Cohen, followed by a series of sessions on working with the field, optimizing Partner Center, understanding incentives, and more. All programming is built to deliver actionable guidance, ideas, and roadmaps for Dynamics partners.

“I’m excited to see the addition of a partner pre-day,” said Steve Cohen, General Manager of Business Applications, Corporate East. “It’s always great for Microsoft to get face-to-face with partners and discuss how to optimize working together to help our customers and their teams achieve more.”

The Keynote Program, running October 17th from the main stage, features a diverse and inspirational group of speakers including NASCAR Champion and STEM advocate Julia Landauer, senior executives from Mattress Firm and the Houston Texans and, as mentioned, Alfredo Ramirez of Microsoft defining why “Now is the time for AI.”

“We are delighted to welcome this great group of speakers to the 2023 Keynote Program,” said Ryan Gonzales, Sales Director of Community Summit North America, “and it will be an honor to kick off the keynote session by introducing everyone to our 2023 Community Summit Scholarship winners, in partnership with TechFluent and Ludia Consulting. We cannot wait to welcome the 13 individuals who have been awarded an all-expense paid experience to start their user journey with us!”

ACL 2: Tai Po braced to face ex-England junior player on roll as coach in Far East

Mark Jackson was a good enough footballer to make 18 Premier League appearances for Leeds United; to play at Old Trafford, Goodison Park, Highbury and Anfield; and to keep the prolific Ian Wright off the scoresheet in an FA Cup victory over Arsenal. As a coach, he led Leeds’ under-18 and under-23 teams to league titles. None of that afforded Jackson a second crack at management in his native England, after his first chance with MK Dons lasted only 4½ months. Not for Jackson the mulligan that is...
