DayONE
This event is an exciting jump-start to Convergence, Microsoft’s annual customer conference.Aptly named, this high-energy event takes place each year on the day prior to Convergence. It is a free event that features real-life, right-to-the-point success stories delivered by Microsoft Dynamics customers, interactive sessions and discussions, and opportunities to connect with Microsoft’s team.
