NAVUG European Congress 2016

There is a new congress in town. Or at least – in Stuttgart :-). NAVUG is coming to Europe for the very first time this year!

As NAVUG is very strongly focused on the User, this is really another type of congress that we’re actually used to (in Europe). Now, NAVUG is all about education, networking and best practices. If you look at the schedule, you see that that is exactly what they are focusing on for their target group: IT/Developers, Finance people, Data Analysts and Project Managers.

This is how NAVUG describes the congress themselves:

NAVUG European Congress is dedicated to helping Dynamics NAV technical and finance users maximize the return on their Dynamics investment through instructional sessions led by experienced users and partners focusing on past and current versions of Dynamics NAV. Dynamics NAV users will receive practical advice that drives innovation and positive business outcomes.
