What is Dynamics Summit 2022, and Who Should Attend?


The largest independent gathering of Microsoft business applications users, partners, and software vendors has taken place at Community Summit North America, which distinguishes itself from other community gatherings on the market thanks to three distinctive differences:


  • For Users and By Users: The event was not created by Microsoft but by Dynamic Communities, a private equity-backed company that organizes unique events to create an authentic peer-to-peer experience.

  • Decreases Complexity to Deliver Results: With over 300 speakers, including some experts from Microsoft, each of the 500 sessions is designed to simplify the ERP, and low code functions that our businesses rely on to achieve company goals.

  • Aligned with your Microsoft Journey: With a community goal to meet you where you’re at, each track is organized based on ERP or Power Platform and further categorized based on skill level and your goal with the program. Geared towards whether you are new to the program, looking to migrate within, or optimizing your business application solutions, the program works with your individual company needs.


Employees using Dynamics in their role, regardless of their organizational level, can significantly benefit from attending the Community Summit event. Whether it’s to gain new insight, learn from other peers or expert speakers, or be a part of the community, there is something to learn for everyone.

  • Employees in Finance and Accounting who use the Dynamics ERP system to manage the financial aspects of the business

  • Microsoft Dynamics users who are in charge of executing, innovating, and streamlining business processes

  • IT and technology professionals ensure Dynamics runs smoothly for all users within the organization

  • Users with a business focus who are developing low-code or no-code solutions
