What we’re about

## Our community

User groups having been running in the UK for over 10 years, starting with a user group for Dynamics CRM in 2011.

Since then, we have expanded in number and in scope, covering not just the traditional ‘CRM’ applications under Dynamics 365 but also the Microsoft Power Platform – Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agents.

Our user groups provide an opportunity for users of Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform to get together, share their knowledge and get to know each other in a fun, open, and welcoming environment. Whatever your level of experience or how long you’ve been using the products, you’re welcome to our meetings!

### Topics

The user group meetings cover all topics under the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform umbrella. We have talks on technical subjects such as development and solution architecture but also cover business perspectives as well, such as user adoption, managing change and business analysis.

### National user group

Our flagship user group – what we call the National user group – runs several events per year. These last all day, have over 15 sessions and typically attract an audience of over of over one hundred people. The events are held at Microsoft’s offices in Reading or London.

### Regional user groups

Our regional user groups cover many areas of the UK. These meetings are typically held in the evening after a working day and have 2 or 3 speakers on topics related to Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform.

19:45 - Sharon Smith - Collapsing BizApps: the AI & Agents driving the Dynamics 365 UI/UX Revolution
As we enter the Era of Agents, the notion of Business Applications - of CRUD databases with a bunch of business logic - is collapsing. So what does that mean for products such as Dynamics 365 and Power Apps that are very static UI-led? Once all the logic is in the AI tier, what will that ultimate futuristic expression look like? This session covers the latest developments in the evolution journey, including:
- Hands-on demonstrations of all AI and out-of-box D365 Autonomous Agent Features available in Public Preview
- Screening of the latest Microsoft Dynamics 365 Release Wave Highlight Videos where new Features are not yet available in Public Preview
- Collaborative discussion of the direction of travel as indicated through engagement with the Microsoft Product Team through non-NDA groups

20:30 - Networking & Close
