The Microsoft Dynamics user groups, AXUG, NAVUG, GPUG, and CRMUG, have announced that George Kourounis, a storm chaser and host of Angry Planet, will be the keynote speaker for their Summit 2015 user training events in October.

This year's keynote address will focus on how to prevent fear from steering the decision making process. Kourounis's presentation draws upon his own experiences driving into the eye of a hurricane and dangling from a rope over a steaming volcano. He will teach attendees how to manage, control, and use fear to their advantage when working towards accomplishing goals, according to conference organizers. 

Kourounis's presentation will take place during the opening keynote Session of the Summit on Wednesday, October 14, 8:00 am - 9:15 am at the Reno Sparks Convention Center located in Reno-Tahoe, Nevada.
