  • Learn more with hands-on labs, new role-based tracks, certification courses, and presentations by top industry bloggers and media representatives;

  • Network with the most diverse Sage community ever assembled, including partners, customers, product experts, Sage executives, exhibitors, and industry thought leaders; and

  • Attend the most expansive Sage trade show that's bigger than ever with more opportunities to connect with companies that are innovating with Sage products.

"Our annual conferences are an important part of the Sage customer experience, connecting us even more closely with our business partners and customers to share company news, educate and most importantly listen to our community," said Sage North America President & CEO Sue Swenson. "This combined event is what our partners and customers have asked us for and we've gladly delivered on their feedback."

The first two and a half days of the conference are dedicated entirely to Sage Business Partners who will experience meet and greet receptions, in-depth technical classes, product roadmap sessions, tradeshow exhibits and popular social events like the after-dark party. Sage customers arrive on Day 3 of the conference to network with others in their line of business, have access to hands on labs, visit the trade show floor, hear from industry experts and attend social events including a 5k fun run and an exclusive night at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
