Innovia Consulting April Newsletter April saw our annual Innovia Customer Conference come and go.  By any measure it was a resounding success. 93 attendees were present coming from over 40 customers. 17 ISV’s were there to work with customers and present their solutions. And there were 24 deep dive sessions covering a wide range of topics.  We started the day with a keynote from David O’Bryan at Microsoft talking about their future plans and ended the day with a large customer appreciation dinner.  If you haven’t attended the customer conference in the past, we urge you to join us at our next conference on Notre Dame's Campus in 2020. My favorite part of the conference was watching customers interact with each other.  There was plenty of time to learn from other customers about their approaches to accomplishing tasks in NAV or Business Central. It is this community that Innovia works hard to foster within our own customer base and within NAVUG. If you are not a member of NAVUG I highly recommend you join and take advantage of the community.  It is where you will find answers to many of your questions. I want to thank all of you that came to our conference.  Without you, we would not have our growing business and we would not be in a position to help bring many of you together.  For those of you who came this year, I hope the conference was enjoyable and you were able to take away valuable insights. I have included the link below for our 2020 Customer Conference registration. It is my hope that you will join us once again in 2020 for this free day of training and networking with your NAV / Business Central colleagues.  Alan Wyne, CEO UPCOMING WEBINARS MAY 09 10:00AM CT Using Visual Studio Code in a NAV 2013 Database by Performing a Technical Upgrade Do you know how to use Visual Studio Code in NAV 2013?
