A few years ago, and earlier, every time when I attended some conference I’ve chose the topic I’m familiar with. For example, probably in 95% of my time I attended Dynamics NAV sessions or something very close with it.

But in the last few years I changed my attention to very different sessions. In these times, everything is different, and everything is changed. Now if you want to survive in your ERP or CRM world, you need to learn a lot of different topics outside of your primarily interest. Solutions are more and more connected and now nobody want to buy i.e. ERP, but they want to buy completely solution… and if you want to provide it, you have to me familiar not only with ERP, but with IoT, AI, ML…

Because of that, I want to write a small recommendation not-to-miss sessions for all Dynamics ERP or CRM experts on this Microsoft Ignite. As Microsoft Ignite will start in a few days (September 22-24, 2020) and registration is free of charge, be sure you registered and try to attend the following sessions:

• Automate your desktop with Power Automate
• Building systems of insights for enterprise scale with Power BI and Azure
• Microsoft Power Platform: Fill the app gap and supercharge organizational agility
• Build Agile Business Processes with Power Apps
• Manage apps, bots, and connectors in Microsoft Teams
• Azure IoT: Building end to end IoT solutions secured from edge to cloud
• Explore Intelligent Edge, Vision, Edge AI and IoT benefits across industries
• Conversational AI powered Customer and Employee Virtual Assistants
• Learn how insanely easy Vision AI can enable real time insights for Manufacturing
• Intro to Azure AI
• Enhance your BI solutions with AI
• Building real-time enterprise analytics solutions with Azure Synapse Analytics
• Intro to Azure Data
• How Delta Lake with Azure Databricks can accelerate your big data workloads by 100x
• Create a unified customer profile in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights

Of course, there are a lot of other Dynamics topics and I can suggest watching sessions about solutions you don’t implement. You will expand your knowledge and in this era it is very important to know how to choose what to and when to implement; when to customize and when to integrate… Of course, this is just my opinion and prediction… if you think differently, do as you think. Definitely, try to enjoy this virtual event.
