In this session, we’ll cover what’s new for GP in 2026 with the release of Version 18.8 (Oct 2025) and 18.9 (Oct 2026). We will then review the current support options today and moving forward for Dynamics GP customers. There is no general session this year for Dynamics GP, allowing us to have more educational sessions, so this is a do not miss session if you need to understand what’s new and what support options there are now and into the future. 

Speakers: Chris Dobkins and Paige Horne 

When: Tuesday, October 13  •  3:30 PM – 4:30 PM CT  

AI has moved well past “just ask ChatGPT.” And for Dynamics GP users and administrators, that’s genuinely good news. Just because AI isn’t built into GP doesn’t mean it can’t work with GP. GP’s data is clean, consistent, and structured, exactly what AI is hungry for. You don’t need a new ERP to take advantage of what’s possible today. This session covers three areas where GP users and administrators can put AI to work right now.  Working Smarter with Your GP Data: Query and summarize GP financials in plain English, spot anomalies before anyone else does, and walk into a board meeting with talking points your AI helped draft based on your actual numbers.  Automating the Workflows Eating Your Day: From audit prep that flags unusual transactions and vendor discrepancies before the auditors arrive, to reporting that used to take two days and now takes minutes, we’ll show you where the time is hiding and how to get it back.  Keeping Your Infrastructure Ahead of Problems: On the administrator side, AI can monitor SQL Server performance in real time, analyze wait statistics, identify bottlenecks, and deliver tuning recommendations in plain language. No manual data gathering, no DBA required to decode the output. You’ll leave with concrete steps you can take today. Not someday. Today.

Someone told you that moving to the cloud meant leaving Dynamics GP behind. They were wrong. GP isn’t stuck on premises any more than a golden retriever is stuck in the backyard. It just needs the right door opened. In this session, we’re going to bust the myth that cloud and GP can’t coexist, walk you through your real options for getting GP into the cloud, and help you figure out which path actually fits your business.  Spoiler alert: Azure might not be the answer your IT team thinks it is. And that shiny new cloud ERP they keep pushing you toward might not be either. GP users already know what it takes to run their business. A browser based replacement that can’t keep up isn’t an upgrade. It’s a step sideways, with a big price tag.  Whether you’re feeling pressure to transition to another product, nervous about what “the cloud” means for your accounting team, or just want to understand your options without the sales pitch, this session is for you. You’ll leave knowing exactly what it takes to move GP to the cloud, what to watch out for, and why the right cloud strategy keeps everything you love about GP intact. GP has gotten you this far. The cloud is just the next stop.

GP Workflow has been sitting in your system this whole time. It came with your GP license, it’s gotten better with every release, and there’s a good chance it’s either turned off, half configured, or set up by someone who left the company three years ago. This session is for GP users and administrators who know Workflow exists but haven’t fully committed to it yet, or who tried once, got stuck, and quietly moved on. We’re going to change that.  We’ll walk through the setup fundamentals you need to get right before you build anything, then dig into the workflows that matter most for day to day operations. We’ll cover the security pieces that trip people up, and spend time on troubleshooting, because nothing is more frustrating than a workflow that’s supposed to be working and isn’t. By the end of this session you’ll understand what it actually takes to get Workflow running, what to watch out for when it doesn’t behave, and why your auditors and controllers will thank you when it does. You already paid for it. Let’s turn it on.
