Retaining Talent: Is BC the Right Path for Me?

If you could go back and tell your 20-year-old self about your BC career, how might you talk about it?

I started with BC while still in university, and for a long time, I wrestled with impostor syndrome. Was I even a real developer? Was ERP just a temporary detour? Should I switch to a "real" job?

Now, as I approach 30, I've come to realize just how many doors this industry can open. And I'm not alone. Over the past 9 months, I've spoken with MVPs, consultants, developers, and leaders to map out the career paths people have taken - and the ones still ahead.

This isn't a session about attracting young talent. It's about keeping it. If you're under 30, come explore what this industry can offer. If you're over 30, join to see how you can support and retain the talent that will shape the future of Business Central.
