What’s happening at Convergence 2012

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m pretty excited about Convergence 2012.  The line-up of Microsoft Dynamics CRM sessions alone is pretty amazing:

• CRMUG Day One sessions
• CRM MVP Chat Sessions
  • One with a Developer focus
  • One with a System Administrator, Power and End User focus
• Birds of a Feather lunch sessions
• Microsoft Solutions Experience
  • Wow, if you haven’t looked at the description for this then you should, its pretty amazing
• Hands-On Labs
• One-on-One with Microsoft Support Engineers
• Product demos from Microsoft Product Managers
• A huge variety or product sessions from 100 through 300 level

The above is just a taste of the terrific content available. 

I am definitely getting the feeling that this is going to be one of the best Convergence experiences yet.  I’m also looking forward to meeting up with my fellow Dynamics CRM MVP’s and having the opportunity to chat with the community and hear and respond to your questions. 

Oh, and I would be remiss to not mention the parties.  Oh Ya, we work hard at Convergence but we also play hard.  I’ve already registered for the big bash on Monday night, Convergence Party by: Scribe, Experlogix, ExactTarget, InsideView and CWR Mobility.  What a great lineup of Dynamics CRM Solution providers and attendees.  You know we are going to have some serious fun.  If you are not already registered, I recommend registering today.  If you are attending, look for me and stop by to say hi.

If you would like to look me up during Summit or have a question, you can find me in the MVP Chat sessions on Sunday, Birds of a Feather lunch sessions on Monday and Tuesday, and in the Microsoft SharePoint kiosk on Tuesday morning.  I also plan to help out in the Hands On Lab area throughout the conference.

I’ll be packing my bag in a little over a week, trying on my Cowgal attitude and heading to Houston.  I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone, reconnecting with friends and fellow MVP’s and making new friends this year.

Even if you are not able to attend this year, you have to visit the Convergence 2012 site and check out Cowboy Rodney.  He is a hoot and a kick.

To coin a popular phrase, “Houston, we have a  Go”!
