Reflections on the GPUG Summit 2011

This was a fun Summit. I met a ton of people and I reconnected with a bunch as well. I've decided to just catch up everything I missed today so buckle up.

Before that happens though I wanted to highlight a few things from the conference.

I've learned that it's really hard for me to blog, tweet and update Facebook effectively when I'm doing a lot of speaking at a conference. Especially with a 3 hour time difference. I was hoping that some new folks would help pick up the slack. You'll have to be the judge of whether or not that worked. The second slide of EVERY one of my presentations pushes people to blog/tweet/facebook if they are having fun. Occasionally it works. I intend to flog that until it does. It's really hard to get the word out about new things like the 3+ year old Support Debugging Tool or the 18 month old Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook or an ISV solution. The Microsoft team deserves kudos for taking shots in the GPUG Summit and GPPC town halls. Most folks did pretty well managing Vegas and still making sessions. I'm impressed. It was fun having CRM, NAV and AX attendees in the area as well. They party well. The 50 Tips sessions still deliver value and still get people excited. I guess I get to keep doing them.
