    @Wayne Schulz posted a link to Sage Future Session Agenda in his Thursday newsletter.

    Sage Future Session Catalog -

    Not seeing ANY love for Sage 100 sessions (139 Total Sessions) when filtering by product.

    I actually believed Sage last month at MOTM when they said Sage 100 was getting some TLC.............

    Hard to get your customers hyped about the show when there is no content for them

    Fair point!

    I have an honest question, Jeff. What are some additional topics that you think would be attractive to current Sage 100 customers?

    A few ideas off the top of my head

    • Multi-channel distribution and Sage 100 (aka eCommerce, Amazon, etc )
    • Best practices: Upgrades, Remote Access
    • Securing your Sage 100 against fraud (one of the sessions sounds like it may cover this)
    • Pros and Cons of SQL for Sage 100
    • Customization Overview: Scripting, Enhancements and Custom Reports
    • Top five enhancements for easing Sage 100 workflows ( AP, AR Automation, Paperless, etc)

    @Jerry Norman - I don't any specific sessions in mind, @Wayne Schulz has a few good suggestions (as always).  But, I am not the marketing wizard for Sage.  They are spending big bucks on this event. They "say" they want to reengage with the Sage 100 sphere, but this just falls short of my expectations.  Where is the buzz?  If I can't get excited about the event, how do I excite my customers?
