Will There Be A Sage Summit for Sage 100 Users in 2022

June 22, 2022 by Wayne Schulz

As of June 2022, Sage has not announced whether there will be a Sage Summit for partners and users of their BMS solutions ( Sage 100, 300 ).

The last Sage Summit including these products was in Atlanta during May 2019.

Sage Summit 2020 had been slated for December 2020 in Florida. That event was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic with a suggestion that it would be rescheduled to 2021. However the event did not appear on the 2021 calendar.

There hasn’t been an update on whether Sage Summit will return or if Sage might rethink the conference format and introduce it as part of another conference or as a series of smaller local or remote events.

For the remainder of 2022 Sage has one event on their calendar which is Sage Transform and from their website:

Sage Transform is designed exclusively for the Sage Intacct community of customers, partners, and industry experts

Stay tuned for updates on whether Sage decides to add a Sage 100 conference to their event calendar.

Sage Summit 2020 Registration Is Now Live

December 12, 2019 by Wayne Schulz

Registration for Sage Summit 2020 Orlando – May 12-14, 2020 is now available online.

The prior two years Sage had opted for smaller more local events in lieu of an annual larger conference. Now in 2020 the larger conference for small businesses, medium businesses, and bookkeepers and accountants returns.

Expected attendance is not yet announced however the venue is at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center which implies the expected attendance would be on par with larger Sage Summit events of the past.

This year Sage has moved their partner day to the last day of the event. In prior years there had been a partner only day at the start of the conference. This day was used to brief partners on upcoming announcements. There hasn’t been any announcement on what content will be presented during partner day this year.

Early Registration ( Through February 10, 2020 ) – $499/ea

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.
