In this special Summit Recap episode of ISV Talks, Carol Livingston is joined by Bob McAdam from Tasklet Factory to unpack the energy, insights, and unforgettable moments from Summit NA 2025 in Orlando, FL. With over 5,200 attendees, this year’s event was a true celebration of the Dynamics and Power Platform communities.

In theis episode you will hear about:  

• Microsoft’s continued emphasis on AI through all keynotes and sessions
• Practical AI agents embedded in Business Central and other MS products
• The launch of the Learners platform that centralizes meetups, roadshows, national events, and session recordings. It’s a smarter way to track skills across the Microsoft stack—ERP, CRM, Power Platform, Azure, and now Copilot—without getting lost in a maze of links and invites. 
• The ten-hour partner enablement workshop, live Copilot Studio builds that actually shipped working apps, and a GP-to-BC workshop that encouraged BC adoption and compared familiar processes side-by-side.
•  The heart of the episode is decision-making under pressure. You’ll hear three GP paths in motion—staying put with strong partner backing, running a broad market scan, or mapping a two-year migration to Business Central—each with timelines, budgets, and risk controls. 
• A Grateful Dead-inspired community T-shirt featuring a “tour” of past Summits dating back to 2005
• Academy classes, Legend and Allstar Awards, and the Women in Tech Luncheon
• A bustling Exhibition Hall with nearly 300 ISVs and VARs, plus sponsor-led activities like Puppy Snuggles, Pickleball, Axe Throwing, 80s Arcade, and Professional Headshots
• Advanced networking opportunities including the BC Bash, PowerGP Online party, and partner-hosted client events around Orlando and at the Gaylord Palms Resort
• Reflection on Bob & Carol's panel session with Tiffany Allen and Fauwaz Hussain, where they tackled the Top 5 questions to ask your ISV—and how to spot red, yellow, and green flags in partner relationships. 

📍 Mark your calendars: Summit NA 2026 heads to Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, October 11–15, 2026.
