I’ve already wrote about conferences this fall with Microsoft Dynamics NAV topics. Now, we can make the final list. Few days ago, we have got the last conference in the raw – Microsoft Business Summit Asia 2015. Conference will be held in Kuala Lumpur 7-10 December this year. You can find here more about this conference.
Now, you can find the final list with all Microsoft Dynamics NAV Conferences this year here. See you on most of them.
Cloud Sure Step is a new Microsoft program. This program should evolve the Road to Repeatability (R2R) program. The main goal of this program is to make an ease transition to the cloud for the most of partners. The NAV team has promoted this new program to WPC 2015 attendees, with the goal of transitioning more partners to cloud-based deployments that focus on fast, repeatable implementations that bring partners’ own IP and vertical specialization to bear.
This is something that we could expect, as second part of Satya Nadella’s mantra “Mobile-first, Cloud-first”. With the newest NAV version, we will get new Azure and O365 integration enhancements, and it is naturally that we can expect more and more cloud based NAV implementations. The most important is that some of these enhancements will decrease cost of NAV deployment on Azure (e.g. using Azure SQL…).
Because of that, you can see that Cloud Sure Step is actually completely strategy, not only some lesson. Microsoft wants to prepare all NAV partners for the future. Because NAV in this new vision uses Azure and O365 as base, Microsoft has prepared Cloud Sure Step in two parts for both of their bases and you can find here more about it for Microsoft Azure and for Office 365. Using these information, you can learn everything from the beginning to the end: what are the Azure and O365, overview of these products and how to grow and optimize your business.
More details about Cloud Sure Step will come at fall partner events. If you are planning to be on Directions EMEA or Directions NA this October, you can find Cloud Sure Step sessions.
To the end of this year, there will be a few very interesting NAV Conferences. I will go on most of them, but on few of them I will be a lecturer. Now, I can present schedules of my lectures this fall.
First, I’m starting at Directions EMEA, Mannheim, Germany – October 5-7, 2015
I was on almost all Directions EMEA Conferences, but it will be my first time as lecturer. I still remember Paris 2008, but now it is really huge conference (it will be conference with 1.300+ attendees). Topic will be how you can implement NAV in construction business. I think I have a lot of experiences in this topic and I think it will be very interesting. I still don’t know exact term, but I’ll publish it in a timely manner. I will be there few days earlier. See you there.
In second half of October, I will start with MS Sinergija, Belgrade, Serbia – October 21-23, 2015
MS Sinergija is my favorite Serbian IT Conference. It will be my tenth lecture on this conference. Conference will be at inconvenient times this year because my trip to US, but it will be a jubilee lecture and I cannot miss it. I’m still not sure about topic, but it will be for sure about something new in NAV 2016. I hope it will be interesting for people in my country.
Only one day after Sinergija I will fly to US on Directions NA, Orlando, USA – October 25-28, 2015
This will be my first time on Directions NA and I hope not the last J. I expect to meet a lot of good people there. On this Conference, I will have the same session as on Directions EMEA – How to implement NAV in construction business. This lecture is part of MVP Best Practices Track and it is already scheduled as session BP 450 on 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM, Tuesday, October 27. This year, I will stay in USA two weeks. After this conference, I will be few days in San Francisco and in Seattle on MVP Summit after that, as well.
And on the end, as my the last conference this year, I’ve planned NAV TechDays, Antwerp, Belgium – November 19-20, 2015
Last year, I was on this conference for the first time and I just fell in love. I will have one session this year: Deploying and Managing Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 with Azure SQL Database. It will be completely technical session and I hope you will recognize it as interesting topic. It is an honor to be with these great people on this conference. This session is already scheduled at 11:00 – 12:30, Friday, November 20.
I hope I’ll see and meet a lot of good people on all these conferences. In meantime, I will also be on MVP Summit in Redmond, US – November 2-5, 2015. See you there.
Unfortunately, I will not be on NAVUG Summit, Microsoft Business Summit Asia and on Convergence EMEA because of my tight schedule on the end of year. But I hope, maybe next year.
I have already wrote about NAV TechDays 2015. By my opinion, this is the best global NAV technical conference. I didn’t introduce you in my session, because in this moment this topic was still by NDA. But now, we heard about it on WPC in Atlanta this week.
Now I can introduce you in my session about Deploying and Managing Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 with Azure SQL Server. You can learn a lot about this awesome feature. I have already introduced in this topic with small article on my blog, but on this session I will present full concept with lot of demos. You can find more about this session here.
But beside my session, there will be a lot of good sessions by other lecturers and you can find all of them here. I think all these sessions will be good reason to register for this conference in Antwerp.
See you there…
NAV TechDays is one of the best Microsoft Dynamics NAV technical conferences. This conferences is organized by Mibuso (I think all of you who work with NAV already knows what is Mibuso). NAV TechDays is the place where some of the best developers and leading business owners cross paths, exchange ideas, find partners and conceive projects. Every year conference has more and more attendees. I expect the same situation this year as well.
NAV TechDays 2015 is scheduled in November 19 & 20 (with pre-conference day at November 18). Currently we already know some of lectures and all of the labs on pre-conference day. On pre-conference day you can participate on one of the following labs:
After this pre-conference day there will be two days of high valuable technical sessions. All speakers are the very experienced and well known in NAV world. The most of them are the MVPs or Microsoft employees. You can find all of them here.
Currently we already know titles of three sessions, prepared by Jorg, Arend and Vjeko. I also know title of my session on NAV TechDays. It will be one very exciting news about NAV ‘Corfu’ and Microsoft Azure, but currently I cannot publish it because this news is still by NDA. In few following months I will publish this title.
You can fill registration form on this page https://navtechdays.com/2015/register and I hope to see you there.
Now, I will continue with my Posting Groups series J and some new topics on this blog… See you…
Last week, I was mainly in Neum (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Small town Neum on Adriatic see was a host of the MS Network 5, the biggest Microsoft Conference in Bosnia. I was on this conference for the second time, and I’m honored to be a part of this conference.
I have spent a 24 hours in my car on this trip, but I’m still happy about my participation on this conference. This is not Dynamics conference, but I was impressed how many people want to learn something about NAV. I had to stay an extra half-hour after the lecture to give an answers on all questions and I’m really happy about this. People want NAV and want to upgrade to the newest version.
Except my lecture, I attended on other sessions and learned a lot of news about other technology from my friends (outside NAV). I think I have to learn other technology every time I can. We have a small problems about internet in hotel, but this was a challenge how to prepare demo on Azure without internet :). But we solved all these problems, and everything was an awesome.
Big thank to Enis and other guys from Microsoft in Bosnia. I will gladly be a part of this conference the next year. We had adventures on trip (guys in my car know what I say) and big friendship on conference. In one word, awesome. See you.
