Directions North America 2024
Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina
Directions NA 2024 was the largest yet, with a turnout of 1,286 attendees, of which 346 were first-timers. The event hosted 291 sessions and workshops for the attendees who represented 30 countries, 42 states and 6 Canadian provinces.
When AL came, it also meant no more casual changes to Business Central without enlisting a developer who could do AL. This landscape is changing fast. There are several options for non-developers to customize many aspects of Business Central. Many new tools are available ... and then there's even the Power Platform also with a whole new perspective on what development for BC means. This session presents all the options a non-developer has available.
