About Scottish Summit

Scottish Summit started in 2019 as a way to showcase Microsoft Dynamics 365 in Scotland. The first event gathered 370 Dynamics professionals to Glasgow to watch 38 sessions. In 2020 the full Microsoft Cloud Community was invited to showcase all the Microsoft Cloud stack and over 1,100 people attended. Fast Forward to 2021 and world events allow the event to go Global to over 3,400 attendees who took in 365 sessions.

Back in person in 2022 we returned to the Strathclyde Unit with 1,000 people attend in person and online, while the team decided there would not be an event in Scotland in 2023 they did the show on the road to UA92 in Manchester to open to a new audience.
