Adam shares his experience of attending Summit for 15 years and offers advice for newcomers on how to navigate the event effectively. Here are the key highlights from this week’s episode:
- Partnership with DCI – MSDW and DCI share a common vision for supporting the Biz Apps community by providing current news, education, and services. MSDW’s role as the official media partner will focus on delivering in-depth event coverage, interviews, and community insights. Adam emphasized how this partnership allows them to deliver valuable content and insights that highlight why companies are investing in Microsoft technologies to improve business operations, and how they’re using it to achieve measurable outcomes.
- Advice for first-time and returning attendees – Adam reflected on his 15 years of attending the Summit and offers practical advice for newcomers. He stressed the importance of planning ahead, advising attendees to prioritize sessions and sponsor visits that are directly relevant to their roles. With over 250 sponsors and hundreds of sessions, narrowing down your focus is essential. Adam also noted that on-demand content will be available, providing attendees with the flexibility to catch up on missed sessions and maximize the value of their experience.
- Networking and learning opportunities during and after Summit – Every year, Summit provides Microsoft users, partners, and ISVs with a fantastic chance to network, share experiences, and learn from each other. Adam and Khaled discussed how important it is to engage with various groups—sponsors, speakers, and attendees—each bringing a unique perspective. Adam highlighted some of the learning and networking opportunities and advised attendees to continue discussions with peers even after they return from Summit.
