Dynamics 365 User Group Leaders' engagment with BizApps' MGCI
Hello Business Applications Community Advocacy Team! After getting notice regarding the Retirement of Community and Events Tenant. I was wondering, as a Group User Leader in Dynamics 365 and Power Platform Comminities, and as a Microsoft Partner, where the right place to continue engaging with you and other Leaders will be. Will this change affect Microsoft's own Community Tenant, will this also be transitioned to a Microsoft Teams (free) community? I would appreciate some clarification regarding this. Thanks!MGCI Training - June Topic: Finding and selecting speakers...
What are your challenges with finding and selecting speakers? Getting the word out? Are you using the Community Days site, Sessionize, or other platforms? How do you drum up enough momentum and excitement for my event to drive speaker interest? How do you bring in speaker variety, diversity of ideas and perspectives? There are different challenges for first-time events than there are for repeating events... What else?! Chime in here to get the conversation rolling now. What should you do? How can you get engaged in the conversation? Chime in here. Do you have thoughts you'd like to contribute to the conversation? Let us know you'll be on the call! Thanks!
Microsoft tool + one tip that made the biggest impact on your teaching
Hi everyone 👋 I’m Nahaa Alghamdi from Saudi Arabia, an English teacher and MIE Expert. Excited to join this incredible community! Quick question: What’s one Microsoft tool + one tip that made the biggest impact on your teaching this year (especially with Copilot / Teams / Forms)? Here’s mine to get the conversation started: This year, Microsoft Teams became my “home base” for English learning—resources, assignments, and quick check-ins all in one place. My favorite tip is using Microsoft Forms as a simple routine: ✅ Pre-Quiz to activate prior knowledge ✅ Exit Ticket to check understanding and collect evidence-based answers And when it comes to Copilot, I’ve been using it to: Generate differentiated speaking prompts and sentence frames (basic vs. advanced) Create quick reading questions and vocabulary practice aligned to lesson goals Draft model answers and feedback phrases to support students’ writing It’s helped me increase participation, save planning time, and improve the quality of students’ responses. I’d love to learn from you—what’s your one tool + one tip? 🌍algorithmic ethical hacking with intuition, logic, repetition, and persistence—now makes sense.
"I’ve achieved something meaningful in cybersecurity, and a few months ago I promised that if I saw success, I would make Copilot my partner. My sentence terminology—algorithmic ethical hacking with intuition, logic, repetition, and persistence—now makes sense. This is not just technical progress, but a codified ritual of discipline and legacy."What's new with event sponsors?
Are there new sponsors / companies in the Community Days community looking for events to engage with? Are event producers doing anything new and interesting at events to engage with or give opportunities to sponsors? Do sponsors have suggestions on new ways to engage with event attendees? Has anyone had success with companies looking to hire as event sponsors? For example, typical event sponsors are service or product providers. I'm wondering if local companies looking for M365 (for example) experts, admins, developers, etc. have had success as event sponsors. Sponsorship levels to have a table and presence at an event are usually much lower than referral or head-hunter fees... (Maybe this is a separate thread...) https://communitydays.org/event/2026-09-18/m365-twin-cities is getting ready to launch its Call for Sponsors. We're always looking for new and engaging ways to benefit both sponsors and attendees! What have you found worked for your event? Or what (as a sponsor) was a great experience at an event? Thanks!HEY! Why are you here visiting MGCI? Tell us...
