Map My Customers, the leading field sales execution platform, today announced that Senior Vice President of Marketing Angela Earl will deliver the opening keynote for the Women in Technology program at Community Summit North America, the world’s largest independent Microsoft AI & Business Applications user conference.

The keynote, titled “The Most Valuable Skill in the Age of AI”, kicks off the summit’s “She Builds” program on Monday, October 12, 2026. Angela’s presentation comes as field sales technology moves closer to center stage, driven by leaders rethinking how AI and automation can best support people on the front lines of customer relationships.

“The competitive edge with AI isn’t about speed or who gets the fastest answer from a tool – it’s about asking the right questions and spotting the gaps in the response,” said Angela. “Technology should expand what we’re capable of seeing and doing, but the strategic decision-making and trust must remain firmly on the human side.”

During the session, she will share actionable strategies for technology leaders. This focus on human judgment alongside automation reflects the core design philosophy at Map My Customers, where technology is built to give field teams practical context rather than just collecting data.

“AI can crunch data and offer up recommendations, but it can’t build trust, read nuance, or replace human understanding on the ground,” said Matthew Sniff, Founder and Chief Product & Strategy Officer at Map My Customers. “The real power of AI isn’t replacing reps, it’s giving them the operational context to make better decisions. Angela’s keynote gets right to the heart of how leaders must balance technology with authentic human judgment.”

Community Summit North America brings together thousands of Microsoft business applications users, partners, and industry leaders.
