Sage Summit 2020 Location Announced for May 12-14, 2020

July 11, 2019 by Wayne Schulz

We’ve received many inquiries about where and when Sage would host their Sage Summit 2020 event in the United States.

Sage Announces Sage Summit Orlando Location – May 2020

While the location(s) initially mentioned included both west and east coast locations it appears that Sage has decided on Florida as the location for their mid-market flagship event in 2020.

Tip: Subscribe to our Sage 100 Newsletter to stay updated on the latest Sage 100 news and events throughout the year.

The event website indicates Sage Summit US will be hosted May 12-14, 2020 at the Gaylord Palms Orlando.

This hotel has previously held Sage Summit events and has the capacity to hold groups significantly larger than the last few Sage Summit events.

Note from Sage: Sage Summit US, May 12-14, 2020, is for small and medium-sized businesses, not the Sage X3 audience. The Sage Partner Summit, March 2-4, 2020, will be held for Sage X3 partners only.

According to the Sage Summit US website:

Our largest event series is coming to Orlando in 2020. Save the date for Sage Summit US, your opportunity to learn, connect, and grow with the Sage ecosystem. Sage Summit US brings Sage customers, partners, and accountants from around the country together for multiple days of deeper learning, product training, thought leadership, and networking to help your business thrive.

You can expect inspiring speakers that lead impactful conversations, dedicated networking opportunities to share ideas, best practices, and knowledge, and future-thinking technology from Sage and our ecosystem.

Additional details including agenda, speakers, and more will be coming later this year.

It’s still early in the planning process so undoubtedly we will see more details prior to the event date.

The Gaylord hotels are larger venues that seem to indicate Sage is leaning back toward hosting larger events in central locations versus a series of smaller sessions.

Sage Summit Atlanta Agenda Released

February 18, 2019 by Wayne Schulz

Sage has updated their event website for the upcoming Sage Summit 2019 – Atlanta event ( May 13-15, 2019 – Hyatt Regency). While Sage previously stated the agenda between their Sage Summit San Diego event and their Sage Summit Atlanta would be identical, I did spot a few minor differences.

Sage Summit – Atlanta – Partner Day

First, on the Atlanta partner day – May 13, 2019 (Partners, Sponsors, and Accountant Network Members Only) there is a session with Gary Boomer titled Workshop for Accountants. There isn’t much detail on this session however this is likely content complementary to the Sage Accountants Network (SAN) Client Advisory Services (CAS) Program.

The partner day agenda may be downloaded directly from the Sage Summit Atlanta website – here.

Sage Summit Atlanta – Customer and Partner Days Agenda

Day two and three include a nearly identical agenda to what was presented in San Diego. Some titles have been slightly changed but the overall content appears to be the same. Perhaps the biggest change is that Sage has added roughly a half-dozen additional sponsor exhibitors giving an even better opportunity for attendees to learn about integrated products or services of interest.

The full agenda for Sage Summit Atlanta – Day 2 and 3 is available for download here.

Sage Summit Atlanta – Sponsor List

The Sage Summit Atlanta sponsor list is larger than the San Diego event. While Sage Summit San Diego’s agenda showed 27 sponsors, the agenda for Atlanta is current showing 33 sponsor exhibitors.

According to the Exhibitor Prospectus posted on Sage’s site and used to provide sponsorship information, the expected Atlanta Attendance is 1,500+

The following sponsor exhibitors are expected in Atlanta:

Sage Summit Atlanta Platinum Sponsors

Sage Summit 2012 Nashville: Registration Begins April 19, 2012

April 9, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

There is no better reason to attend Sage’s annual Summit (customer and partner conference) than to meet your peers and network with some of the smartest minds.

Seven years ago during Sage’s conference I met people who I’ve kept in touch with over the years. Today our group has grown to 100+ members and we’re connected in real time 24 x 7 to help each other answer technical questions about Sage products.

None of this would have happened without the chance for us to meet in person at Sage’s conference.

If you’ve ever wished that you could compare notes about your use of Sage products with like mined users – here is your opportunity. Our 90 Minds group have even organized our own mini-conferences (the last conference, shown below, was in February 2012 at the offices of DSD Business Systems).

This year’s Sage Summit event is being held August 17-21, 2012 in Nashville TN (directly behind the Grand Ole’ Opry).

I’ll be hosting a panel presentation on the ways people are making money using Social Media as their main marketing tactic.

Each morning at 6am I walk with a group of two or three people (attire is strictly bed head and shorts). We mull over the content from the prior day’s sessions, discuss the sessions that we’re going to attend – and make plans for the evening events. Here we are from last year’s conference in Washington DC. That’s me, Peter Wolf and Robert Wood. Last year we even recorded our thoughts about the conference during our morning walks (listen here).

Want to improve your use of Sage products? Are you a Sage partner wondering what other partners are doing to improve customer satisfaction? You can sit back in the office and keep wondering – or head out to the conference and find out for yourself. Below is a picture from the LinkedIn gathering sponsored during Summit 2011 by Sage .

See you at Sage Summit 2012.
