Proof is in the Metrics…
The best part of this conference was getting to meet others in the Sage community who
use the same products we do.
I came home energized. Sage has a lot to offer, more than I ever imagined, and it was really awesome to meet like-minded people who work in similar industries doing similar
things using the same Sage products.
Sage Summit was time and money well spent!
