DynamicsCon Virtual Planning Team Prepares for Event

After much planning, the sixth DynamicsCon Virtual conference is ready to take flight on Nov. 13.

The one-day digital event's nine-person organizational team planned the affair alongside the upcoming DynamicsCon 2025 conference, set for May 13-16 in Chicago.

Are Virtual Events Still Relevant?

Ryan Harris, DUG's marketing manager, says that while in-person events tend to get the most attention, the efforts of DUG's planning team weren't wasted on the virtual event.

"DynamicsCon Virtual and other virtual events still hold some distinct advantages of their own," he says, listing "(t)he ability to reach a worldwide audience, enable speakers to present from the comfort of their home or office, and empower attendees to join from the comfort of their home or office (…) all for free."

This year, Ryan says DUG hopes for around 5,000 digital attendees to log onto DynamicsCon Virtual.  Because the DUG community voted the conference's sessions into the agenda, Brianna Sierra, DUG's member manager, says attendees are sure to be engaged.

"The voting process was especially exciting, as we saw incredible community support and people enthusiastically endorsing each other," she says. "We prioritize the community's interests in our planning, and we can’t wait to unveil what we have in store!"

DynamicsCon Virtual 2024 Agenda

This year, the event includes six tracks: Dynamics GP, Cross-Product, Customer Engagement, Business Central, Finance & Supply Chain, and Power Platform. The day will also begin with a keynote session by Microsoft's Principal Product Manager, Malli Vangala, who will be joined by Jannik Bausager, Microsoft's Principal Group Product Manager. In addition to the event tracks, Corpay's Tiffany Allen will provide an interactive product demonstration.

A new DUG team member helped coordinate the events and sessions, Ryan says.  DUG senior event manager Jessica Maldonado joined the team last month, but "has already hit the ground running with logistics for both the upcoming DynamicsCon Virtual and DynamicsCon 2025 in Chicago."

All of DUG's planning team worked hard to put DynamicsCon Virtual together, but, apparently, it was more than worth it.

"Planning DynamicsCon Virtual has been a blast!" Brianna says.
