Dynamic Communities' GPUG Summit celebrated its 10th anniversary this month with record attendance; it was the best-attended of four events (including the AXUG, NAVUG and CRMUG Summits).

GPUG Program Director, Bob McAdam helps orchestrate the Summit, from the content to the venue to Microsoft's involvement.

Bob joins us to talk about:

  • The Dynamics GP roadmap. Dynamics GP 2018 has been named as the next release, due in late 2017;
  • The new, yearly release cadence - perhaps a relief to users?
  • Next year's venue. With 60 percent higher attendance in 2016, the Summits have outgrown Tampa. Enjoy the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
  • Why GP holds its loyal user base and will continue to do so, even as Dynamics 365 grabs all the attention.

Bob is a veteran of the channel, having been a Dynamics GP consultant with Tribridge, and also serves as vice president of finance at Dynamic Communities. He led five sessions at this year's Summit, is a Microsoft Certified Trainer, and co-hosts the Enterprise Software Podcast with Todd McDaniel of Dynavistics and Darcy Boerio of Website Pipeline.
