Rules of engagement:
All speakers must be listed at the time of session submission. If speakers are added after submission, there is no guarantee for their inclusion. A company can have no more than 12 accepted sessions, with no more than 4 accepted breakout (60-minute) sessions per speaker.
We are thrilled you are here, and we have tried to make this process seamless and easy for you by outlining the tips, context, and criteria that the programming committees will use to analyze the more than 1700 submissions we are expecting for Summit NA, the largest innovation, education, and training event for Microsoft business applications running October 11-15, 2026, in Nashville, TN.
