It’s conference season, a busy time in the Microsoft Business Applications space! Luckily, PartnerTalks has been keeping up!
PME 2025: What a Success!
Last week, PartnerTalks, in collaboration with MSDynamicsWorld (MSDW) and Dynamics User Group (DUG), hosted the third Partner Marketing Event (PME) in Chicago just before DynamicsCon 2025.
There, more than 160 of the world’s foremost marketing experts in the Microsoft Business Applications Ecosystem gathered for the event. They shared data-driven insights, explored innovative, effective marketing strategies and built relationships with the upper echelon of ISV, VAR and Partner Marketers.
Keynote by Microsoft’s Anne Krupke
Microsoft’s senior product marketing manager, Anne Krupke, set the tone with her keynote, “Microsoft & Partners – the Dynamics(s) Duo: Marketing Together in the Age of AI.” In her presentation, Anne discussed current trends in business applications and marketing and highlighted resources available to Microsoft Partners.
MSDW Whitepaper Presentation
Following the keynote, PartnerTalks host and Microsoft MVP Rick McCutcheon joined MSDynamicsWorld co-founder and CEO Adam Berezin and MSDW editor Jason Gumpert to present exclusive findings from an MSDW whitepaper. The trio dug into data covering Partner-to-Partner buying behaviour, sales and marketing alignment and AI’s impact on marketing strategies.
Lessons From the Experts
MSDW’s original research presentation led into a series of (spectacular) sessions presented by experts in their respective areas.
The audience did more than just listen to experts speak, though. The attendees, who are veritable marketing authorities themselves, provided their own insights, commentaries, and strategies to the group.
Truly, PME felt like a collaboration.
By all accounts, the event was a roaring success. Since hosting PME, PartnerTalks has received a wealth of positive feedback, and plans are already in motion to grow the event even more for next year.
Racing to Resco Next
Resco Next 2025, held from May 19-21 in Valencia, Spain, marked the eleventh edition of Resco’s flagship conference.
The event brought together over 30 international speakers and 27 sessions focused on enterprise mobility, AI, and low-code solutions. As in previous years, it catered to Microsoft Partners, ISVs, and business users seeking to enhance their digital transformation strategies.
Resco Next Pre-Conference Day
The conference launched with a pre-conference day on May 19 at Hotel Melia, featuring deep-dive sessions and one-on-one consultations with Resco experts. Like past years, Rick McCutcheon, PartnerTalks’ host, led a pre-conference session on the evolving B2B buying journey.
Official Conference
The main conference on May 20-21 at the Valencia Conference Centre included keynote speeches, technical workshops, and customer success stories. There, Rick joined fellow experts Ben Mitchell and Trevor Metcalfe, presenting on the conference’s business track. Meanwhile, George Doubinski headed up the technical track following a stellar pre-conference presentation on practical AI for business apps.
Introducing Questionnaire Player Gen2
A significant conference highlight was the introduction of Questionnaire Player Gen2, a tool designed for structured, intelligent data collection, supporting advanced forms scenarios and AI readiness. Questionnaire Player Gen2 joins Resco’s existing line of products, including its Mobile App Development Toolkit; its low-code Power Platform extender, Power Components; field team management tool Mobile Solutions; and Power Solutions, which digitizes workflows.
As has become a tradition for Resco Next, the conference boasted an awesome venue, awesome lineup and awesome events – all put together by an awesome Dynamics ISV.
