MICROSOFT MARKETING COMMUNITY
Honest conversations about what’s actually working.
Co-hosted by Sam Bush and Kate Coffey-Bacon, the DUG Marketing Professionals Meetup is a global community for marketers across Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and the broader partner ecosystem.
With more than 800 members, the group connects marketers from ISVs, SIs, VARs, MSPs, and Microsoft partners to share ideas, learn from one another, and discuss the realities of building brands and driving growth in this complicated ecosystem.
What We Talk About
Our virtual and in-person events cover topics including:
Brand, positioning, and differentiation
Partner and channel marketing
Demand generation and revenue alignment
AI and changing buyer behavior
Community, events, and thought leadership
Marketing careers and leadership
Some events feature guest experts. Others are candid roundtables or interactive discussions.
The goal is always useful ideas, honest conversations, and stronger connections—without the thinly disguised sales pitch.
Join Us
Whether you work in marketing, partnerships, sales, community, or leadership, you’re welcome here.
Bring your questions, experience, recent wins, and the problems you’re still trying to solve.

Share What You Know
You don’t need to be a professional speaker—or claim to have everything figured out—to contribute something valuable. We’re looking for marketers, founders, consultants, partners, and community leaders willing to share real experiences, practical ideas, lessons learned, and honest perspectives about what’s happening across the Microsoft ecosystem. Whether this would be your first presentation or your fiftieth, we want to hear from you.
