June 4: What Happens in Vegas at Sage Summit 2014 Will Help Mid-Market Businesses Grow With Confidence

What happens in Vegas will stay with you the rest of your life. At least, that’s what Sage North America is hoping for mid-market businesses at

Sage Summit 2014. The annual event – taking place July 28-31, 2014, at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas – will be an immersive education experience that will build on the impact of deep, meaningful connections and conversations to give midsized businesses the power to make informed decisions and address their most pressing challenges.

According to a recent research study commissioned by Sage, midsized businesses stated that their top three challenges are winning new customers, reducing operating costs and growing revenue. Sage Summit will help businesses confidently address these challenges in the form of insightful keynotes, sessions and panels. Mid-market businesses will have the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with peers and engage in conversations on best practices for tackling these and other business challenges. An example is the benefits of effective data usage for inventory management and overall performance improvement.

Facilitated by subject matter experts, conversations will center on burning topics for midsized businesses, such as eliminating inefficiency, maximizing productivity and strengthening sales, marketing, and customer relationships. They include:

• Keynote from Biz Stone, cofounder of Twitter and cofounder and CEO of Jelly Industries, on the impact of social media on business
• Sharma Kabani, CEO of Marketing Zen Group, on how to consistently attract and retain more customers in a noisy world.
• Session with Sage experts on how to manage a distribution business with Sage ERP X3.
• Session by Josh Altman, Bravo reality TV personality, Million Dollar Listing, on selling “Barbie’s Dreamhouse” and how to inspire, influence and achieve sales greatness.
• Panel with Sage experts on achieving success in a mobile world with Sage ERP mobile apps.
