Are you attending Sage’s annual customer and partner conference July 21-26, 2013 in Washington DC? If so you may want to subscribe to their Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/sage_summit.

Sage Summit 2012 is scheduled for Nashville TN August 12-17, 2012. As with prior years a big part of the value that youll take away from the conference will be interacting with other participants.
However if you arent all that familiar with Social Media you may struggle to understand the various ways the to connect.
Theres a Sage Summit Facebook Group for private discussion, a Twitter account for official tweets and YouTube for videos.
Where is the best place to visit if you dont have time to create multiple social media accounts?
We suggest that if you can only pick one tool – use Twitter.
This online short messaging service is perhaps the most popular communications tool during conferences. The secret to finding highly relevant content is to search for the official hash tag for Sage Summit – #Sagesummit.
Hashtags are special abbreviations which users place into their messages to categorize the content. Searching for the hashtag #sagesummit will filter out your Twitter feed and show only the active messages being broadcast during the conference.
Below is an image of what your filtered search for #Sagesummit will look like via the http://www.twitter.com site.
All mobile Twitter clients allow you to perform similar searches.

Are you attending the Sage Software Insights Conference in Denver May 17-20, 2010?
Insights is Sage’s annual conference for resellers and consultants (Accountants can attend Sage Insights 2010 too) , This three day event features technical sessions, keynote addresses and plenty of time for networking.
Because upwards of 2,000 are expected at Insights it can be tough to find people in the midst of all the sessions and keynotes.
This year I’ve created a Twitter list for anyone who is attending Insights. This list will make it simple to quickly review Twitter messages from those people attending the conference. These messages could be short summaries of sessions they’ve attended or vendors that they’ve just met.
It will include Sage employees, consultants, vars, etc
This list is small – but growing – and if you’re going I’d like to add your name – to make it even easier for other people to listen to what you have to say during the conference.
The benefit of Twitter lists is that when you log into Twitter (or use many third party Twitter clients) you can click on a specific list and view only the “tweets” from those people on the list.
Insights 2010 will be a busy time. People attending will be sending Twitter messages – which can be a great way to find out about good sessions, special activities and even hear opinions about keynotes, etc.
It can be challenging to zero in on just those specific messages without something like a Twitter list.
Think of Twitter lists as a way to filter out the noise on Twitter and temporarily zero in on specific information — in this case Twitter messages from people attending the Insights conference.

I’ve created an Insights 2010 list so everyone at the conference can quickly view the Twitter activity of people who are there.
Interested in joining the list? All you need do is Tweet out the following message (just copy and paste it into your Twitter stream – be sure you include the “#insights10” hash).
I’ll keep looking for messages that include this text — and as I find them I’ll add your Twitter ID to the list.
Then when you get to Insights 2010 you’ll be able to easily view the Twitter messages of those who are also attending Insights.
Here’s the message to copy/paste into your Twitter feed:

Rather twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. While the service itself costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
One of the frustrating things about Twitter is that it can be difficult to find people to “follow”. Unless you’ve been using the service for a while you can easily become frustrated at trying to find people like:
Himanshu Palsule (twitter) –
Executive VP, Product Strategy/Marketing, Sage Business Solutions, and GM, Specialized Solutions
Bill Kizer (twitter) who worked in sales for years at Blytheco and is instrumental in starting and running the Sage LinkedIn Group.
Alok Tyagi (twitter) – VP of R&D for Sage Software North America
There are many more Sage related twitter feeds on our list. As of now the number of followed accounts is 83 and growing.

Be aware- Twitter is an unfiltered stream of messages. While many of the users are affiliated with different companies – it’s a good idea to assume that their comments reflect their own personal thoughts and not necessarily those of their employer.
This is also not an official Sage feed. They do not endorse, recommend, follow, participate or provide any other approval of the messages or content.
If we’ve missed adding your name to the Sage Twitter list – leave a comment with your Twitter ID and affiliation and we will add your name to the Twitter list.
