BC: Behind the Build: What the Makers Love in BC Wave 1
Host: Kristen Hosman

Info: "Release notes tell you what’s new — but they don’t tell you what matters most. For this session, I reached out to members of the Business Central product team and community leaders and asked them one simple question: What’s your favorite new Wave 1 feature — and why? I’ll share their answers, their faces, and the features they’re most excited about.

Then I’ll connect those insights to real-world implementation impact — translating the buzz into practical guidance you can apply immediately in your projects. Because Business Central isn’t built by magic. It’s built by people."

CE/PP: Modernizing Sales Compensation in Microsoft Without Spreadsheets
Host: Troy Simpson

Info: "Sales compensation is one of the last critical revenue processes still managed in spreadsheets for many Microsoft Dynamics customers. As organizations scale, manual commission management creates errors, delays, audit risk, and lack of visibility for sales teams and finance.
This session explores how Dynamics customers can modernize incentive compensation by automating commission calculations, improving payout accuracy, and providing real time earnings visibility across sales, finance, and RevOps. Attendees will learn practical approaches to replacing manual processes, integrating compensation with their Dynamics environment, and building scalable compensation operations that support growth without increasing operational overhead.
