Sage Marketplace Live!

Proof is in the Metrics…

The best part of this conference was getting to meet others in the Sage community who

use the same products we do.

I came home energized. Sage has a lot to offer, more than I ever imagined, and it was really awesome to meet like-minded people who work in similar industries doing similar

things using the same Sage products.

Sage Summit was time and money well spent!
