Meeting of the Minds 2020

  • 1.  Meeting of the Minds 2020

    Posted 01-06-2020 09:07
    Is there any more of an agenda for the upcoming Meeting of the Minds besides the pre-conference training sessions? No mention of evening events, etc.? Trying to decide when/if to come and a more complete agenda would be helpful.
    Thanks,

    I too am wondering about the "sizzle".   Where is it?  How do I justify spending $2,700 in registration and travel costs when there has been nothing published about the event.  How is Carmen's "insider" presentation DIFFERENT than what @Barbara Goldstein has presented over the years?  What makes it worth $395?  Who from Sage is attending?  Is there going to be a payroll session?  There have been MANY posts about the lack of information regarding the various tax rules.  We need some differentiation regarding them.  Sage is not dispensing advice on which tax rules to use.  How do we guide our clients when most members are not CPA's.  What is making this event unique?  Last year's event was heavy with affiliate presentations.  Too heavy IMHO!  I can go to Summit for a LOT less, talk to the vendor's there and even introduce my clients to them.  What are the evening events?  Are headshots being taken?  Surely, you have known for many weeks now.  What is the big secret?

    If you factor in the consulting dollars lost by being out of the office for three days, the cost is nearly $5,000.

    I am seriously thinking about coming to the hotel and setting up shop at a corner booth in the bar for two and a half days.  I will surely see everybody I want to network with and save some cash.

    Give us a reason why this is the MUST ATTEND EVENT OF 2020!!!  Please!

    The event sessions look good with a mix of panels, presentations and technical info. I think you will like the content. Of course one of the biggest advantages is the networking with both fellow 90 Minders and Sage and/or Acumatica representatives.

    What is the refund policy for canceling a registration?  I do not see anything addressing this situation on the site.  Asking for a friend.....

    Meeting of the Minds without Jeff Schwenk? That's unpossible!

    Just send the pants - we'll have them framed. I would say bronzed but that would hide their glory.
