There was a lot of talk at Convergence 2015 about a new focus of the event – away from the traditional Dynamics software user conference to more of an executive level “Microsoft vision” event. In a document promoting Convergence 2016 to sponsors Microsoft stated, “ This year at Convergence Satya Nadella talked about how we are going to help every organization do more – by making computing more personal, by reinventing productivity and business process and by building the intelligent cloud. The evolution of Convergence reflects the further integration of Dynamics as part of Microsoft’s core business. We are expanding the reach of Convergence with additional focus being placed on the business influencer roles within our customer organizations. Microsoft Dynamics GP and the community will continue to be a key member of this new era of Convergence, and we remain committed to the Microsoft Dynamics Partner Community. We look forward to seeing everyone in New Orleans next year! ” A key point to note is the sentence, “ Microsoft Dynamics GP and the community will continue to be a key member of this new era of Convergence, and we remain committed to the Microsoft Dynamics Partner Community. ” Many people wondered last year if the small/mid market Dynamics ERP products (GP/SL/NAV) would still be included in the event and Microsoft has confirmed that they will.
