Last week, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 community gathered in Poznań, Poland, for Directions EMEA 2025, the largest independent event dedicated to Dynamics partners across Europe. With more than 3,000 attendees, hundreds of sessions, and countless opportunities to connect, this year’s conference reaffirmed why Directions remains the heart of the Business Central ecosystem.
Over four days, partners, ISVs, and Microsoft representatives came together to share insights, unveil new product capabilities, and discuss the future of digital transformation powered by Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and AI. The agenda was filled with deep-dive technical sessions, strategy talks, and hands-on workshops, offering a comprehensive look at where Microsoft’s business applications are heading.
Key Takeaways from Directions EMEA 2025
This year’s event made one thing clear: AI is no longer just a trend, it’s the foundation of modern business applications. Microsoft shared exciting updates on Copilot, Business Central’s expanding capabilities, and new integrations designed to simplify workflows and drive productivity.
Business Central in the Cloud continues to evolve at an impressive pace, with improvements in performance, automation, and user experience that empower businesses to scale faster and smarter. Partners also got a closer look at upcoming features in Power Platform and Dataverse, revealing a stronger connection between Dynamics and low-code innovation.
But beyond the product roadmap, Directions 2025 was about people and collaboration, the exchange of ideas, lessons learned, and success stories that keep the Dynamics community thriving.
Solutionade on stage
Among this year’s speakers was Djoko Kimov, Cloud BizApps Engineer and Business Analyst MCP at Solutionade, who delivered a session titled “Turn Data into Decisions: Build Powerful Dashboards with Power BI – No Technical Skills Needed.”
Djoko’s session attracted a diverse audience of consultants, developers, and business leaders eager to learn how Power BI can empower decision-makers without requiring deep technical expertise. His presentation showcased how user-friendly data visualization can transform daily business operations and drive strategic insights across teams.
Thinking back on his experience, Djoko shared:
“Reflecting on Directions EMEA 2025, I am grateful for the opportunity to present and to engage with such an enthusiastic audience. Being selected to speak was both an honor and a responsibility, and the thoughtful questions and feedback I received made it a highly rewarding experience.
Hearing directly from Microsoft about the future of Business Central and AI was inspiring, and the insights gained from the sessions will be invaluable for applying practical knowledge within the Solutionade team.
Beyond the presentations, reconnecting with peers, meeting new colleagues, and exchanging ideas highlighted the strength and vibrancy of this community. Directions EMEA continues to be an event that drives learning, collaboration, and innovation, and I look forward to carrying this momentum into our work and to next year’s event in Paris.”
