Earlier this year Sage announced that in 2018 instead of holding larger Sage Summit customer conferences they would have a series of regional events.

What Is Sage Sessions?

As described by Sage:

“the best of Sage with a series of regional events throughout the U.S. and Canada, called Sage Sessions. Our goal is to meet our customers and partners where they do business.”

Each stop offers a full-day event with a keynote, breakout sessions, and a networking reception—and provide time for you to host your customer appreciation and other activities

DSD Business Systems was at the first Sage Sessions in Los Angeles with a booth displaying our enhancements for Sage 100.

We took lots of notes so we could share and compare Sage Sessions to Sage Summit.

With that in mind, we want to provide a quick update on our plans for future Sage events.

Sage Summit: Sage Summit events deliver multiple days of experiences and learning that evoke passion, emotion and inspiration. Many of you have asked about Sage Summit in the U.S. and U.K., and we anticipate hosting these events in 2019. More information will be available in mid-2018.

Sage Sessions: Throughout 2018, we will host Sage Sessions around the world. Sage Sessions are single-day events that bring local businesses together to network, gain inspiration through expert advice and tailored content, and learn about new Sage technology. Sage Sessions events are already underway in many regions. Specific locations and dates for these events will be coming soon.

Sage Forum: Sage Forum events are single-day events that offer highly-focused business agendas and content. Sage Forum events will be taking place around the world in 2018 and can take many formats, such as luncheons, business meetings, panels, or lectures.

Conference events for many technology companies have seen their formats change over last few years. It would not be surprising to see events continue to change so continue checking with us as to the latest Sage events by signing up for our Sage email newsletter.
