David Meego - Click for blog homepageIn just under a month’s time my wife, Jennifer, and I will be flying from Perth via Sydney and Dallas/Fort Worth to Nashville, Tennessee, USA for two weeks at the Community Summit 2026 conference.

During the first week (Monday 5th to Friday 9th October 2026), I will be running Dexterity Fundamentals training at the massive Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville. Then on Sunday 11th October, I will be running Academy training for GP Power Tools.

Once the conference starts you will find us at Expo Booth 321. Swing by and say G’day.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageCalling all Microsoft Dynamics GP customers and partners.

It is vital that you have “in-house” knowledge and skills to support and maintain your customizations. With the upcoming changes to the Microsoft Dynamics GP support and consulting landscape, if you work with any customizations to your Microsoft Dynamics GP system, you need to know how to maintain them.

David Musgrave from Winthrop Development Consultants will be running two extremely valuable development training courses in the lead up to Community Summit 2026, and now is the time to register. There is no guarantee these classes will be offered again.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageDo you want to customize Microsoft Dynamics GP or have customizations that you want to support into the future? Now is your chance for both customers and partners to get trained in Dexterity, the development environment that Dynamics GP is built on.

Understanding Dexterity will help any developer working with Dynamics GP regardless of the development environment they end up using. This knowledge is vital for developers using Dexterity, Visual Studio Tools (C# or VB.Net), “End of Life” Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or using the GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module.

I will be running the 5-day Dexterity Fundamentals for Dynamics GP bootcamp training class in the week before the Community Summit conference in Nashville, Tennessee, USA in October. Please register for the training now and plan to be in Nashville for the week before the conference.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageI am finally getting back to work after travelling and presenting at Community Summit 2025 in Orlando and visiting family in the UK. Still got lots of tasks to catch up on but I wanted to write about the Knights of GP.

The Knights of GP is planned to be a community based co-op of customers, consultants, Independent Software Developers (ISVs) and partners who will work together after Microsoft stops supporting Microsoft Dynamics GP to allow the product to remain supported by the community who use and love it. Join us for the tomorrow’s Fireside Chat…

David Meego - Click for blog homepageThis is an article I wrote for the recently released Fido magazine. The magazine was published in time for Community Summit 2025 in Orlando by Fidesic, who offer Payables Automation solutions for Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Go visit them at booth 1545 for the full magazine.

Thanks to Carl Robinette from Fidesic who reached out and offered the opportunity to write an article for the magazine, and to my wife, Jennifer, who helped me with multiple rewrites. 🙂

David Meego - Click for blog homepageToday, I am off on my way to Orlando, Florida, USA for the Community Summit 2025 conference. With a 12 hour time difference between Perth and Orlando and an almost equal distance from the equator, I will truly be going halfway around the globe with my Friday lasting 36 hours.

I will be presenting a 5 day Dexterity class and a 1 day GP Power Tools class and then being involved with and presenting at least seven sessions. I will also be taking advantage of a number of “Advanced Networking Opportunities” including being a sponsor of the PowerGP Online party on Wednesday night.
