In October, GraVoc’s own David Laster and Mark Wiley will be presenting at the Dynamics Community Summit North America! The Dynamics Community Summit North America is a long-standing, annual event for business communities using Microsoft platform technologies. The event provides the Microsoft community a space to engage with one another and share resources. This year, the summit will be held in person at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, from October 12-15th, 2021.
Between David and Mark, GraVoc will be presenting 7 sessions at this year’s summit! Last year, David presented two sessions titled ‘Power BI – The Intelligent Administrator Dashboard’ and ‘Two Great Worlds Colliding – Power BI Reporting’ and ‘GP Payroll’ at the event, which was held virtually due to COVID-19. David and Mark were both extremely excited to have 7 sessions accepted and our entire team couldn’t be happier for them!
