A few weeks ago, I was able to go to the Directions Conference in Orlando. This was a 4-day conference for Microsoft Dynamics Partners. While we were there, I learned of new updates coming to Business Central that focus on security and system telemetry. Both tools will help us better support your Business Central installation. The tools work primarily in the SaaS environment and in Azure. However, the best part about that conference was just being able to sit down and talk with people face-to-face. Innovia’s Customer Conference starts on May 4th. We have a record crowd of over 250 people coming to the conference this year. It is obvious that people are ready to get back out into the world and see others. We have a great agenda with many sessions all focused on Business Central. A special thank you to our Premium Sponsors, Cavallo, and Next Generation Logistics. If you couldn’t make it this year, plan to attend next year. Over 20 ISVs will be there along with a large number of Innovia staff. But as always, the best part is the networking you can do with other users. The other big user conference is coming in September: DynamicsCon Live will be in San Antonio, Texas from September 14-16. This conference is put on by Dynamics User Group (DUG). There are tracks for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, GP, Sales, and Finance and Operations. The conference is limited to 500 attendees so register today to secure your seat. Innovia has a discount code; Innoviainvite15 to save 15% on registration! It has been a few years since we could meet in person. Having been to a conference this year, I realized how much we all missed face-to-face contact. Make time to attend a conference this year. You will enjoy the time with others.
