GPUG Summit 2012 Recap

Written By Diane Bilyeu,

Another GPUG Summit 2012 is behind us and what a great one it was! There was over 500 attendees, 22 preconference classes, and nearly 150 breakout sessions. I had an awesome time meeting new friends, old friends from previous Summits, customers, VARs, and part of the Rockton Crew that are located in different parts of the country.


At the opening ceremony, Mark Rockwell, President of Rockton Software, jingled about Rockton Software Products. He also presented two Partner Showcases: Making Microsoft Dynamics GP Work Simpler & Easier by Rockton Software. It was a huge success! During the second Rockton Partner Showcase, Andi Boutwell, Chief Financial Officer at Express Employment Professionals, won the drawing for the Kindle HD; everyone who attended a Rockton Partner Showcase was entered.

Since GPUG Summit is always busy, I was thankful to have enough time to quiz a few Microsoft Employees to see if they could fix a problem that I was having in Microsoft Dynamics GP. And, they were able to fix it! It was fun to see the male and female Microsoft Employees vying to see who could fix it first. Hats off to the female Microsoft Employees who fixed my issue!

I would like to give a shout out to our new Microsoft Dynamics GP All-Stars for this year: Mark Polino, Richard Whaley, and Howard Swerdloff; and, a fair well to last year Microsoft Dynamics GP All-Stars: John Lowther, Bob McAdams, and Zubin Gidwani.

For all that missed this year, don’t miss out next year! It is going to be held in Tampa, Florida. Meet Rockton Software (www.rocktonsoftware.com) there!
