GPUG Summit 2013 Recap

Written By Kelli Sexton,
CEO of Rockton Software

GPUG Summit was a great event! Tony Dungy was awesome; his message about finding meaning outside of
work hit home for me. The Q & A afterwards with real questions from attendees highlighted his ability to share the similarities between creating a professional sports team and building a team (in business) to tackle business problems. He was very authentic, and his stories really connected to the audience of 3,000 attendees.

Our Partners Showcases were a hit! Over 120 GPUG attendees joined our Making Microsoft Dynamics GP Work Simpler & Easier sessions. Mark Rockwell, President of Rockton Software, sprinkled the Rockton Software product jingles throughout his demonstrations. There were many collective “oohs” and “aahs” when seeing the ways our products—SmartFill, Dynamics GP Toolbox, Auditor, Dynamics Report Manager, and Omni Price—make Microsoft Dynamics GP work simpler & easier. The attendees were engaged and many received prizes!

In the Expo Hall, we had a prime location: Bar #413. We received tons of compliments on our colorful bar. There were also Seahawks, Broncos, and Buccaneer fans in attendance because we did receive compliments on our jerseys! Frequently, our booth was full of people who had heard about Rockton Software from other GPUG attendees, which makes sense because approximately 35% were first time GPUG attendees.

Lastly, we hosted our first time ever Customer Appreciation Event! This event was a huge success. We enjoyed meeting with many of our loyal customers and hear about the variety of businesses they are in. Some of our customers were from government agencies, media, wholesale distribution, technology, and manufacturing companies. It was a fantastic way to end our week in Tampa!
