Once a year, there is a unique opportunity for Sage sales partners to gather together with peers, prospects, entrepreneurial leaders, and others in a facilitated and focused setting. This event, exclusively sponsored and hosted by Sage, was designed to provide participants with the latest information on small-to-medium business (SMB) trends and provide Sage partners with an opportunity to interact with dynamic business owners in a learning environment. The event offers attendees a high energy, collegial environment for sharing success stories, collaborating on customer-facing issues, and making new connections.

The annual Sage Summit is the world’s largest gathering of entrepreneurs and leaders of SMBs from all around the world. This year, the annual event is scheduled to take place in Chicago, IL, July 25-28. The itinerary is action packed and focused on one integrated concept: igniting passions for business, life, and helping others.

In addition to the Sage Summit conference’s providing a unique “businesscentricâ€ flavor, which Sage sales partners rarely have exposure to in any other industry-sponsored learning setting, Sage also offers the Partner Summit which is an exciting opportunity that is comprised of an exclusive day of training devoted to our valued partners. Partners get the inside scoop on what’s new for Sage and a birds-eye view of how these new developments can enhance their sales business.
