About the event
Community Summit North America (Summit NA) is the largest independent event hosted by Microsoft users. These five days of practical learning, real-word conversations, and forward-thinking strategy help you get more from the Microsoft tools you rely on every day.
📅 October 11–15, 2026
📍 Gaylord Opryland Resort, Nashville, TN
Why you should attend
Whether you’re in finance and accounting, IT, business administration, supply chain, or sales and operations, Summit NA delivers value tailored to your role. Here’s what makes it worth your time:
- Real-world use cases you can apply right away: Practical tips, how-tos, and proven approaches across 700+ sessions led by 500+ speakers
- Microsoft leadership: Keynotes and general sessions covering AI, Dynamics, Power Platform, Fabric, and what’s coming next
- High-value networking and ecosystem access: Connect with 5,500+ attendees and explore solutions from 260+ partners and ISVs. Plus receptions and the Grand Ole Opry concert included with your pass.
Optional add-on: accreditation classes
If you want deeper, classroom-style training, add an Academy class. These paid sessions include NASBA CPE credits and offer hands-on training for AI Agents & Copilot, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Fabric. Classes are sold individually and often sell out, so register early if you plan to attend.
Planning your next step beyond GP
Microsoft Dynamics GP has served many well for years. Many users are asking the same question: Should we stay on-prem… or start planning for cloud ERP? The decision affects upgrades, security, reporting, and long-term system support. Summit NA is an ideal place to explore your path forward with clarity. You can:
- Compare current Business Central capabilities and roadmaps
- Talk with peers who have already transitioned
- Evaluate how AI and Copilot fit into your future state
If you’re considering system changes, book time with us before the event. Our team will be happy to run a business process review with you, evaluate your options and what migration looks like for you.
Tips to get the most from Summit NA
Attending is one thing. Getting real ROI is another. Here’s how to maximize your experience:
- Set clear goals before you go: Implementing Sales or AP Agent? Which manual processes to automate? Improving reporting with Power BI? Identify 2–3 priorities and build your session schedule around them.
- Mix strategy with tactics: balance high-level roadmap sessions with hands-on technical training. You need both vision and execution.
- Plan your schedule but leave room for discovery: Allocate time for the show floor and hands-on conversations. You’ll likely find new innovations, ISV tools, and ideas that shift your priorities once you’re onsite.
- Debrief with your team after: block time on your calendar to share key takeaways and turn ideas into action.
