Why Attend

Free from sales and gimmicks, Summit brings together the largest gathering of Microsoft Business Applications users and partners for education and networking. Technical experts will share their specific knowledge and expertise to help you make the most of your current Microsoft Business Applications software. You will leave Summit more educated about the products you work in every day and you’ll learn practical tips you can take back and implement.

At Summit, you can discuss your challenges and opportunities with seasoned Users, Partners, and Members. Summit is for collaboration. We are there for each other, we are there to learn, and we are there to hear the success stories of others.
