Sage Summit 2012 | Advance Conference Guide

Dear Valued Customer,

Sage is moving the future forward. Join peers, colleagues, experts, and thought leaders from the Sage ecosystem at Sage Summit 2012. At Sage Summit, you’ll learn more, hear more, and experience more. This conference offers the most in-depth learning and networking opportunities ever collected under one roof for Sage customers.

At Sage, innovation is one of our guiding principles. Without question, innovating our solutions to help you improve the way you run your organization is paramount. But we’re also thrilled to break new ground with this year’s Sage Summit conference. For example, Sage City is a radically different way to make connections at a live conference. It combines the best aspects of networking—including social media, small groups, and structured topics—into one event. In addition, we’re rolling out more hands-on labs and new tools like our Sage Summit mobile app, Sage Summit Facewall, and expanded social media to ensure you have an extraordinary experience while you’re here.

My favorite aspect of Sage Summit is the sense of community, which is unlike anything you’ll experience at other software or technology conferences. See for yourself. Join us to forge new connections, ignite new ideas, sharpen your tech savvy, and become an unstoppable force for change in your organization.

Thank you for choosing Sage to help run your organization. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you in August.

Kind regards,

Pascal HouillonCEO Sage North America

See the future at Sage Summit 2012!

Register early for the lowest rates.

Sage is proud to offer Sage Summit at a price that’s below comparable events in the software industry. Early-Bird registration opens on April 19. We encourage you to register early to secure reduced pricing and preferred accommodations.

1 Group RegistrationTo qualify for this rate, three or more associates must register from the same company. Group registration will be audited. If your company does not have at least three associates registered, those registrants will be notified and charged the applicable fee at the time of their original registration. Group Rate may not be combined with any other offers or discounts.

2 Installment Payment Plan Terms and ConditionsYour Sage Summit 2012 registration fee may be divided and paid in four installments if you register on or before May 31, 2012. If you register June 1, 2012–June 30, 2012, your fee may be divided and paid in three installments. This payment option is only available for credit card payments made through online registration, and you must present a credit card that has a valid expiration date at least four months from the date of purchase. The first installment and a nominal service fee of $5 are due immediately and will be charged to the credit card you specify during the registration process. Subsequent installment payments will be automatically processed to the same credit card on the third Wednesday of each month. You may need to make two payments in a single month, depending on when you register. (For example, if you register on May 1, you will be charged one payment May 1 and the next payment May 17.) If you log on later and add registration items, these purchases will be charged on your final installment. The deadline to request an installment payment plan is June 30, 2012.

Conference Cancellation PolicyConference cancellation requests must be submitted in writing and received on or before midnight ET Friday, July 27, 2012, to receive a refund, less a $200 service and processing fee.
