The 2026 Community Summit Guide for Cowboys and Cowgirls
YEEHAW! It’s time to dust off those boots, grab your cowboy hat, and get ready to giddy on up to Community Summit NA 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee!
And if you know anything about Nashville, you know there’s no shortage of music, good food, honky-tonks, and people who know their way around a guitar. But while you’re in Music City, you’ll also want to make sure you’re hitting all the right notes at Summit.
Once again, Community Summit NA is bringing the Dynamics community together for a week packed with educational sessions, networking, industry insights, and plenty of opportunities to learn what’s next for the Microsoft ecosystem.
With 650+ educational sessions covering the full spectrum of Dynamics 365 solutions, including Finance & Supply Chain Management (F&SCM), Customer Engagement (CE), Power Platform, Business Central, Great Plains, and, of course, AI, there’s enough content to keep even the most seasoned Dynamics cowboy or cowgirl busy.
Whether you’re a Summit veteran or this is your first ride, a little preparation can go a long way. So grab your boots and let Ellipse Solutions be your trail guide for making the most of Community Summit NA 2026.
Saddle Up and Be Prepared!
First things first: head over to the Summit NA website and register for the event and create your user profile. And don’t just phone it in! Add your photo, fill out your information, and take advantage of the networking tools and notification settings.
Once your profile is ready, it’s time to wrangle that agenda. With hundreds of sessions to choose from, finding the right ones can feel a little like trying to pick your favorite country song, there are just too many good options. Start browsing the full session agenda and add the sessions that catch your eye to your personal schedule.
Let the Summit Agent Be Your Guide
Not sure where to start? Summit has you covered! This year, you can use the Summit Agent to help find sessions that fit your interests. Answer five simple questions about yourself, and the Summit Agent will provide a curated list of educational sessions based on your interests.
Pack the Conference Essentials
A successful Summit trip requires a few essentials including comfy shoes (a MUST), water bottle, business cards, phone charger, etc. And if you forget something along the way, the expo hall is your friend. You can find everything from candy and mints to enough branded swag to outfit your entire office.
While you’re roaming the expo floor, be sure to stop by Ellipse Solutions at Booth #454 for a little nostalgia and a game of Plinko. You might just walk away with some boot-scootin’ swag.

This Event Isn’t Just for the 9-to-5 Crowd

Things kick off on October 12 from 6–8 PM with the Community Reception on the Expo Hall floor. Then on October 14, you can head over to the Grand Ole Opry Closing Event from 6–9:30 PM for a true Nashville experience.
Or, you can interact with the Ellipse team as well as our co-sponsors directly at arguably the coolest party all week!
