proMX Dynamics Week 2023 wrap-up: AI, project management and more
Artificial intelligence is arguably the most transformative technology to emerge in recent years. It’s no surprise, then, that AI featured prominently in this year’s proMX Dynamics Week. Over the course of seven information-packed sessions, experts from Microsoft and proMX covered the latest updates to and insights about Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Microsoft Power Platform.
Each year, Dynamics Week gives us a great opportunity to share our knowledge with partners, customers and all who are interested in keeping their Dynamics 365 and Power Platform knowledge up to date. Read on for a recap of each session along with links to watch the sessions in their entirety.

Challenges we overcame in the educational sector in Germany | with Mario Steinberg and Jennifer Scheckenbach*
