AXUG Summit: Connections As Important as Microsoft Dynamics AX Education, Board Member Believes

For Paul Martin, like many of his peers, AXUG Summit is all about the networking.

Martin started working with Microsoft Dynamics AX as a user in 2004. He attended the very first Summit in the same year. He was a member of the Dynamics AX User Group (AXUG) for several years, leaving when he became a consultant for a VAR. In 2014, when he went to work for Tempur Sealy, Martin rejoined the group and the board.

Martin talked to MSDynamicsWorld.com about AXUG Summit 2016, which starts on October 11, and the importance of making connections with other users.

Paul Martin: I've been involved since the first Summit. I immediately got involved because I thought it was such a great organization and was fulfilling such a need. I joined the AXUG board of advisors after the first Summit. I stayed there for roughly three years and led tracks all three of those years until I went to consulting.

I'm back now working for Tempur Sealy and was asked to rejoin the board and gladly did so. I'm on the board of advisors, I'm on the planning committee, I'm a co-chapter leader in the Carolinas chapter. I'm also on the AX forums daily, helping to answer questions where I can. So I have a lot of involvement with AXUG. l volunteer and it's a great organization to be able to volunteer on and be able help drive forward Dynamics.
