E258: Avalara to spotlight tax automation at DynamicsCon 2025

· PartnerTalks

Tax compliance software developer Avalara is preparing for a strong showing at DynamicsCon this May, bringing tax compliance automation into focus at one of the Microsoft Dynamics community’s most significant gatherings.

The event will take place May 14 to 16 in Chicago, drawing Partners, solution providers and users from across the Dynamics 365 ecosystem.

Melissa Craig, senior manager of strategic alliances at Avalara, said the company’s presence will highlight its exemption certificate management tools and broader compliance suite. The conference will also serve as an opportunity for Craig and her colleagues to build and strengthen relationships within the Dynamics community, she said.

“When you’re building out an entire solutionon Dynamics 365 - Finance, Business Central, GP, whatever it might be - you need your ISV community, and we need our Partners now more than ever,” Craig said in a recent PartnerTalks interview.

Avalara’s on-site team will include solution engineers and alliance leaders offering product demos and tax automation advice, Craig told PartnerTalks.

DynamicsCon attendees can also visit the company’s “relaxation station,” which will provide shoulder massages. The station is a lighthearted nod to one of Avalara’s taglines: Make taxes less taxing and more relaxing.

Craig will lead a session on Wednesday, May 14, from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., focusing on exemption certificate compliance. The presentation will address growing obligations as businesses expand supplier networks across jurisdictions.

“Only 10 states don’t include exempt sales within the nexus thresholds,” she said. “Most states require you to manage exemption certificates as part of your compliance obligations.”

Avalara encourages attendees to stop by their booth and learn how automation can ease compliance workloads.

“We look forward to seeing everybody in Chicago,” Craig said.
