Day 1: April 10, 2011
After spending time with attendees answering questions at our GPUG DayONE session, UBGP15 Ask the Experts: Microsoft Dynamics GP Development Tools, it was now time to go have some fun and comingle with the crowd attending this year's Convergence.
I had the chance to catch up with my fellow IntellPartners cohorst and exchange impressions from the event. In addition, it was just time to sit down, have a beer, and really enjoy the beautiful evening.

The venue couldn't be anymore original. Microsoft chose to host the opening reception at the Georgia Aquarium - the world largest aquarium - and World of Coca Cola museum, two of the most recognizable landmarks in the Atlanta Metro area.

It was also time to catch up with the newest addition to the Microsoft Dynamics GP blogging community, fellow blogger Yulia Smotrova with MIG & Co. in New York City.

We decided to head over to the World of Coca Cola museum to get our sugar fix by drinking some 60 different Coca Cola flavors and products bottled and sold around the world, not without stopping for some pictures with the widely recognizable Coca Cola polar bear.

On our way up to the sampling area, David decided to showcase his dancing - as in break dancing - abilities. I have to say, I was pretty impressed (and embarrased at the same time as it made feel old once again!)
Unfortunately, I had to cut the night short as I had a drive to make back home and frankly, was already very tired - please disregard the "feeling old" remark.
The following day would begin with the Convergence Keynote speach featuring Microsoft's CEO Steve Balmer and Corporate VP, Kirill Tatarinov.
Until next post!
