SAGE SUMMIT RAMPING UP

This is the first year of the combined user/reseller event, Sage Summit, which is being held the week of July 10 at the Gaylord National, just downstream from the nation's capital. I should call these adjacent shows since they are back to back. Sage seems to be off to a decent start on rounding up sponsors, perhaps because of the combo. Citrix Online is onboard as the go-to technology sponsor. Alpha II and ScanForce are Premier Gold Sponsors (Premier Gold Sponsors is this title inflation?). Technisoft is a Premier Silver sponsor and Altec, EdiSoft, JobOps, QuoteWerks, SAP BusinessObjects and Single Source Systems are Premier Bronze sponsors.

Apparently Sage was a little slow in asking attendees if the fact this show is smack against Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference would affect their participation. I can't see why it would since most VARs send few representatives to WPC. The question is whether Sage can solve the problems it had with getting endusers to the original standalone Summit. That show was almost a "Timberline users plus" event since the Timberline folks were accustomed to attendee a user conference and turned out in droves. The people running the show never seemed to grasp the appeals that have worked at getting endusers to Microsoft Convergence Let's hope they've learned.
