The summit seeks to support Sage Enterprise Management partners and encourage them to capitalise on the cloud opportunity and transform their businesses.

The number of Enterprise Management-certified consultants has increased by 72 per cent since October 2018, while the number of ISV integrations for Sage Enterprise Management has surged by 55 per cent over the last year, demonstrating partner investment in growth and innovation on the platform.

Taking place from 2 to 4 April in Dubai, embracing the theme ‘Drive to Thrive’, the event will provide Sage partners, sponsors and exhibitors with the opportunity to network, and see the latest Sage product news and roadmaps first-hand, as well as discover new business opportunities.   

What Sage Partners will experience at Sage Enterprise Management Partner Summit:  

Keynotes – The opening keynote address, given by Sage President Blair Crump, EVP of Partners, Accountants and Alliances Jennifer Warawa and other Sage executives highlighted Sage’s strategy and its investment in innovation as well as the partner ecosystem and latest product releases. Other keynotes will feature Chief Marketing Officer Ron McMurtrie and Sage’s Africa Middle East leadership team.
