Sage Future 2027 is headed to Chicago April 27-29, 2027. I think this will continue to be a largely Sage Intacct and Sage X3 show with some content for other products with the main focus remaining on Sage Intacct. I expect Sage 100 customers to largely continuing learning via online webinars.  Sage issued this press release on May 5, 2026 outlining what they see as the key news announcements from Sage Future 2026.

Sage Future 2027 in Chicago is at McCormick Place.  I wish they would have it somewhere else.  It seems like every time there is a Sage conference in Chicago they have it at McCormick Place.  Although it's huge, it is inconvenient to get to and there are no restaurants or tourist attractions within walking distance.  It would be a lot more fun if they had it in River North, Streeterville, or Lakeview/Wrigleyville.
