I started working on my presentation several months before the event. I wanted to make it memorable, and meaningful for any attendees. I decided to use a story I thought would be familiar with everyone and another one that was more personal.
If I’m honest, I wasn’t sure how many people would come to listen to my session. The line up for the summit was exceptional, there were some phenomenal speakers. When it came to the session, I was stunned that the room was full, which was a little daunting.
But I needn’t have worried, because the community is so friendly and supportive. I’m sure that even if I’d fluffed the whole thing, everyone would still have been just as enthusiastic. And this was one of the points I had made during the session!
Luckily, it seemed to go ok, and I remembered almost everything I had wanted to say. Some of the small steps I encouraged the attendees to take are;
- attend events … such as South Coast Summit
- look out for bootcamps and Power Up Saturdays
- join D365/Power Platform user groups
- apply for mentoring programs
- take up community learning
- try out group study
- get social
All of these things are regularly mentioned on social media, LinkedIn and Twitter and on the Virtual Events Hub.
