Sage Summit 2012 is Sage North America’s annual customer and partner conference held August 12-17, 2012 in Nashville Tennessee. This year Sage is expecting up to 4,000 people to attend (customers, partners, Sage, exhibitors). The event features product specific training and educational sessions of interest to the Sage community as well as an opportunity to network with your peers.

Last year Sage offered only a web based application for Summit – which is still available here for mobile users (think BlackBerry or Windows Phone) who don’t have access to an iOS or Android device or prefer the real time updated web data this online site provides.

You may want to use the web based site —http://www.sagesummit.com/webmobile – as it seems to be updated with real time people information while the mobile apps (at least the iOS version) seems to have a static list of people who were confirmed as attending when the application was submitted to the respective app store. UPDATE: The data on the apps will be updated shortly with a pending refresh.

Two key features of the Sage Summit iOS and Android app

Ability to search for attendees by name, company or product.

Search for exhibitors by keyword.

Which is very helpful if you’d like to narrow down the trade show booths (including finding the booth number) you’ll need to visit in search of a specific product or service.
