Why should you consider attending the Sage Summit

The Sage Summit is the annual conference and trade show for all Sage Software customers. It’s the only spot where you can become a part of your product community by connecting with fellow software users, product developers, support analysts, and product leadership—all under one roof.

The Sage Summit will be held on November 5-8th at the Gaylord, Opryland in Nashville, TN.  

Why should you attend?  Here are five reasons why you don't want to miss this event.

1. Maximize Your Software Investment
At Summit, you’ll discover new ways that your software can solve business challenges and bring more value to your organization.

2. Exchange Ideas, Outcomes, and Successes
One of the truly great benefits of Sage Summit is that it enables attendees to learn from each other. It’s the perfect forum for discussing relevant topics and successes with people who share similar job roles, organizational challenges, and technologies.

3. See What’s Ahead for Your Product
The folks who develop your software and chart the course for its future will be key presenters at the conference. They’ll share their vision and welcome your input and feedback.

4. Talk to the Experts
With activities like our onsite Support Center, Sage Software booth, and hands-on labs, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to speak directly (and frankly) with product experts. So go ahead. You bring the questions and curiosity. We’ll supply the opportunities to swap ideas, gather tips, query experts, dispel myths, download facts, discover technologies, and more.

5. Learn About Integrated Solutions
Did you know Sage Software offers many applications and services that work together with your current solution to improve workflow and eliminate redundancies? At Summit, you can evaluate and test-drive these offerings, as well as those of our trade show exhibitors and third-party developers. You can even take advantage of exclusive discounts available to attendees only.

Bonus Benefit: Earn Continuing Education Credits
Many Sage Summit sessions and workshops count toward continuing education requirements, including CPE credits for CPAs as well as credits for the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE). Learn more about earning CPE credits.
