The top sessions you need to attend at DynamicsCon LIVE 2024.

Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned veteran of DynamicsCon Live, it’s important to have a plan of attack when you hit the convention floor. As a long-time Microsoft partner, Cargas is here to help you make the most of this year’s DynamicsCon event!

What Is DynamicsCon LIVE?

DynamicsCon LIVE is a multi-day community conference hosted by Dynamics User Group (DUG). DUG is a community of Microsoft software users and partners just like you. Although DUG is an independent entity, Microsoft reps, partners, and ISVs attend DynamicsCon to give the best possible experience to customers.

DynamicsCon focuses on Microsoft’s business software, including Business Central, Customer Engagement, Dynamics GP, Finance & Supply Chain, the Power Platform, and topics that span multiple solutions.

This year’s DynamicsCon LIVE event will be held Monday, May 13th, through Thursday, May 16th, in Denver, Colorado. There will be plenty of sessions to attend, but here are the four we think Microsoft users should prioritize.
