The number of sponsors looks fairly steady. My surmise is the growth comes in exhibitors and from the names I am not familiar with, I would say these companies are aiming at the Sage One Level; certainly the additions do not appear to be related to the mid-market. Let's assume this reflects Sage's desire to expand its penetration of companies too small for Sage 50. I would ask Sage for comment but the company appears to have taken a vow of silence. Besides, over the last year it has not provided meaningful information about this show to the press.
SUMMIT EXHIBITS AHEAD OF 2015? Featured
Every year, I total exhibitors and sponsors for shows like Sage Summit which is being held in Chicago at the end of July. My view is the totals looks good. My combined count for the medal sponsor categories is 135. Last year, I started three weeks earlier so I will not compare those numbers. But my sense is Sage made substantial gains in numbers in the last weeks of 2015 and that it should come in well ahead of last year's total which I had at 124.
