Sage 100

Summit - April 9th Not sure if everyone saw this. Sage Summit registration opens on April 9 along with the launch of our new Sage Summit website. http://sge.bz/11mKUFT Look for an email next week for the exciting details.

Robert spotted this (see link) -- apparently we just sign up for Summit without any knowledge of the agenda. https://twitter.com/Sage_Summit/status/451804951627321344

So they think we are going to sign up for a brief agenda on April 9th and then wait till May for the full agenda, that they still more than likely don't have????? This is crazy! Who ever heard of pay first and then we will tell you what you are getting.

I will gladly give you a cheeseburger Tuesday if you pay me today... - Not Wimpy from Popeye

The LA Lakers just pulled the same thing. Season ticket holders must now renew two months earlier than in the past. This is one day before the lottery draft, and there'll be no clue as to the makeup of the team or coaching staff. The Lakers did say, however, that prices are not increasing. The reason for the ealier renewal is they need time to implement new technology for the renewal system. There are too many similarities here, so perhaps this is an LA strategy.

I just got this in an email.

You'll have to register by May 5th to use the discount. For shizzle!

All of 1/2 day is dedicated to partners, all other days dedicated to customers. This is really a customer event now. Agenda note: ""We are hosting a Business Partner-only kick-off Monday afternoon before everybody arrives. You'll be the first to hear what's happening so that you can guide your clients to the many opportunities available to them

We're now guides...interesting.

All registered and ready to go! Now... If I only knew what I was doing and when I was doing it.

You'll be a guiding light...

So I gather, it all sounds very exciting doesn't it?

LOL - Karl Rove and Robert Gibbs as keynote speakers. I just wet myself.

Entertainment featuring one of the bands topping the charts.... which chart?

All the more reason to have Viva Las Vegas MOTM 2014 event......

Sample courses - decidedly customer focussed http://www.sagesummit.com/assets/pdf/SageSummitSessionSamplingCatalog.pdf

Gee if they throw Ed Kless into the speakers mix they'll have covered nearly all the political bases.

Better is not better: Different is better"" No wonder most software is crap...

Please tell me they didn't actually say that !!

Since a band topping the charts today may not be the same at the end of July, at some point they'll have to go down the list to find one that agrees to play. Of course almost all bands will play private events for enough money. If it's up to Pascal, we'll end up with the ""European Hot 100 Singles"" chart.

I'm really surprised they have a Republican and a Democrat on the speaker list. These events should be apolitical to avoid controversies.

Attached is the latest version of the floorplan. More vendors have signed up, but it appears that the volume is at the pod level. As of this writing, Diamond Sponsor - ...TBD Platinum Sponsor - .Website Pipeline Gold Sponsors - 7 including Edisoft, SQK, Nextec, Scanco, Scanforce, Paramount, ALTEC Silver Sponsors - 7 including Avalara, ACS, ROI, Biznet, Construction SW Alliance, Net@Work, Vertex Bronze Sponsors - - 27 - These are 10x10. I-BN is one of them, xkZero, Inciniti, SPS, IIG, etc. Exhibitors = Pods - 52 including Fisher Tech, Enbu, JDB, Dimension, etc. The map does not have 52 pod spaces, so more changes to come.

@GaryFeldman that layout looks a little better than last year.

Yes it does look better than last year, but we are also having hands on sessions and theater (what ever that is going to be) all in that room. I think that will be very interesting how they pull that off !

People are actually attending those things? I thought we were all going to the casino all day and all night?

@RobertWood This is going to be just like the market in Olde England. You can be in charge of bringing the chickens.

@Real...@JohnHoyt who needs to bring chickens? They have 24 hour buffets in Vegas.

I was just reading an article on breathing fire that could come in handy at Summit.

@RobertWood But the ones on the buffets don't cluck to add the right amount of ambience.

Fire breathing might be too much competition for all those HOT new Sage products, like Sage Mobile.

Clearly @JohnHoyt you haven't had to kill your own chicken before. It's messy, messy, messy.

LOL!

@RobertWood too much info. I can picture that, yuk.

See, in Hollywood the chickens are cavorting about in the yard in the first scene, then cut (literally) and in the next scene the family is having Sunday dinner.

Okay still too much information - i.e., I don't want to do props on your films.
