Highlights
00:30 — Community Summit North America 2023 is taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina, from Oct. 15-20. Academy Sessions will take place on Oct. 15 and Oct. 16, the AI Summit Pre-Conference will take place on Oct. 16, and the main Community Summit conference will begin on Oct. 17.

02:07 — Kylie begins to share her tips for attendees, beginning with attire. She advises that attendees wear comfortable shoes — there will be a lot of walking — and clothing. Additionally, bring layers, as temperatures may fluctuate in and outside of the conference.
03:10 — When it comes to sessions, “make sure you plan your sessions in advance.” You can use the Session Planner on the Community Summit website or the Mobile App, which can be found in the app store by searching “Community Summit NA.” Using the Session Planner, attendees can filter through sessions by track, product, speaker, and more.
04:36 — Kylie also encourages attendees to keep an eye out for both user-led and partner-led showcases. “I think it’s so interesting to see all of the different organizations who are using Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform and see how they’re using it with all these crazy, totally different use cases.” Additionally, visit the Vendors on the Expo Floor!
05:46 — Another tip: talk to lots of people. Network with attendees, Speakers, and Vendors.
06:40 — With all of the educational sessions taking place during Community Summit North America 2023, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. To combat this, Kylie suggests focusing on one tip from each session and “focus on things that are actionable for you so that you can reduce that feeling of [being] overwhelmed.”
