Look, we get it. Another tech conference. Another flight. Another few days out of the office. But here's the thing — this isn't just another conference.

The European BizApps Summit has become the gathering for anyone doing serious work with Microsoft's business applications. Power Platform, Power BI, Fabric — if you're building with these tools, you need to be in the room where it happens.

Here's what makes this worth your time (and your travel budget):

1

You'll Actually Use What You Learn on Monday Morning

We've all been to conferences full of pie-in-the-sky demos that never translate to real work. Not here. People leave with notebooks full of solutions they implement the next week. One attendee last year automated a process that was eating 20 hours a month. That's ROI you can measure.

2

Microsoft Shows Up — And They Will Talk to You

Product managers from Redmond don't just give keynotes and disappear. They stick around. They answer your weird edge-case questions. They take notes when you explain why that one feature drives you crazy. Where else does that happen?

Just returned from the European BizApps Summit. The agenda was packed with insightful sessions, making it a challenge to choose which ones to attend. The keynote, "The Future of AI is already here," set the tone for two days of knowledge sharing. Excited to implement these and many more learnings and explore the new and exciting features discussed at the summit.

European BizApps Summit this week in Dusseldorf Germany was unreal! Lots of insightful topics covering the BizApps ecosystem, and a big shoutout to all the speakers! I thoroughly enjoyed conversations with many folks at the conference. A big thank you to all the organisers, sponsors and volunteers who made this event possible 😊

The Hallway Conversations Are Worth the Price Alone

Sure, the sessions are great. But the real magic? It's bumping into someone at the coffee station who solved the exact problem that's been keeping you up at night. It's finding out the person next to you at lunch built something that could save your project. 3,000+ practitioners means someone has been where you are.

No Fluff, No Vendor Pitches Disguised as Sessions

The speaker lineup reads like a who's who of people actually doing the work. MVPs who've been in the trenches. Companies sharing their failures along with their wins. Technical deep-dives that assume you know your stuff. Finally.

Super successful participation in the European BizApps Summit 2025! The conference offered an impressive platform for innovation, exchange, and further education around the Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, Dynamics 365, and AI-powered business solutions. The Summit was not only a place for technological inspiration but also an excellent opportunity to network with leading minds in the industry.

Just got back from an incredible few days at the European BizApps Summit this week. From thought-provoking talks to real, meaningful conversations with passionate folks across the community, I'm walking away feeling both energized and genuinely inspired. Big thanks to everyone I crossed paths with, so many bright minds and fresh perspectives.

Hands-On Labs Where You Build Real Things

Remember learning by watching someone else click through slides? Yeah, we hate that too. The workshops here are different. You're building. You're breaking things. You're figuring out how to fix them. With experts looking over your shoulder when you get stuck.

6

Stories from Companies That Actually Did the Thing

Every case study isn't a fairy tale. You'll hear about the governance nightmares, the adoption challenges, the technical debt. And then — crucially — how they worked through it. These are your peers, not glossy success stories.

The Expo Floor That's Actually Useful

90+ vendors sounds overwhelming, but here's what's different: they're showing solutions to problems you actually have. ISVs with connectors you need. Partners who've built accelerators for your industry. Tools that fill the gaps Microsoft hasn't gotten to yet.

Back home from an inspiring 2-day European BizApps Summit in Düsseldorf — and what a ride it was! Surrounded by like-minded enthusiasts, I dove into sessions packed with insights, practical tips, and real-world stories. Already looking forward to the European BizApps Summit 2026 edition in Cologne — let's keep the momentum!

That's a wrap on European BizApps Summit! So proud to engage with this incredible global community of makers, developers, and innovators who came together to learn and build the future of BizApps. The energy was electric as industry leaders and builders came together to dive deep into Power Platform, Dataverse, Microsoft Fabric, and Business Applications. 💥

Your Team Leaves on the Same Page

There's something powerful about experiencing this together. No more trying to explain what you learned to skeptical colleagues. Bring them. Let them see it themselves. Watch your next project move faster because everyone's speaking the same language.

You Become Part of Something Bigger

The European BizApps community is tight-knit for a reason. These are the people pushing boundaries, sharing freely, and genuinely excited about what's possible. Join the Slack channels. Stay for the networking. You'll use these connections all year.

You'll Remember Why You Got Into Tech

Somewhere between the budget meetings and the bug fixes, it's easy to lose the spark. This summit brings it back. You'll see what others are building. You'll realize what's possible. You'll leave energized in a way that's hard to fake.

The Practical Bits

Yes, it sells out. Every year, people think they'll grab last-minute tickets and then... they can't. The hotel blocks fill up. The workshops hit capacity.

If you're serious about Power Platform, and Microsoft Fabric, if you're trying to lead digital transformation, if you're the person others turn to for answers — you should be here.

Your future self will thank you.

P.S. - Bring comfortable shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking between sessions you don't want to miss.
