Did you know that every PowerGP Online “power user” receives a Free, one-year membership to the Dynamics GP User Group (GPUG)?
What is GPUG?
The idea for GPUG grew from the vision of a few Microsoft Dynamics® users – to connect with other Dynamics users and learn firsthand the best way to leverage the software they used every day. From that initial vision to the official founding of the Dynamics GP User Group (GPUG), and continuing today, our mission has never wavered: to maximize the value to individuals and companies using Microsoft Dynamics GP.
One of the best parts of a GPUG Membership includes the ability to attend one of the many Dynamic Community events throughout the year.
In October, PowerGP Online was a Gold Sponsor and exhibitor at GPUG Summit 2017 with about 8,000 other Microsoft Dynamics GP users in Nashville, Tennessee. We enjoyed three busy days of the conference and networking with other Microsoft partners and users to motivate each other.
During the week, we hosted a PowerGP Online Partner Training Day at The Inn at Opryland. We welcomed Partners from around the country who spent the day with our team learning about all the amazing new features within our product.
This year we had an amazing GPUG Summit celebration called Funky Tonk at Acme Feed & Seed. Thank you to our great ISV Partners including, Integrity Data, Greenshades, Jet Reports, Rockton Software, and Nodus. Everyone had a blast as we danced the night away in downtown Nashville! Oh, did we mention that there was a photo booth?
We were also able to present hours of quality, educational content back to our GP community. On Friday alone, our team presented over 11 hours of content combined! In case you missed it, here are some of the PowerGP Online sessions from GPUG Summit 2017.
