It’s safe to say that this year’s Sage Intacct Advantage conference was one for the books! Being hosted by the bustling city of Las Vegas was spectacular within itself, but to add to the wonderful frenzy was the fact that this was the largest Advantage crowd to date.
Stemming from 30% growth in registrations and thousands of people, rooms and sessions were filled with Sage Intacct representatives, customers, prospects, VAR and IAP partners, and of course, a wide-variety of phenomenal presenters. When we were not in sessions, it was great to catch up with our current customers, network with new people, and explore the benefits of the marketplace expo, full of numerous vendors.
Now, if you didn’t get a chance to go, here is a recap of some of the conference highlights:
AWARDS
Rob Reid, Sage Intacct’s Managing Director and EVP, happily introduced six organizations to the stage to present them with the Customer Success Award.
The six organizations introduced, which span across the nation, included: DFO, Legacy Healthcare Services, Meals on Wheels America, Publisher Circulation Fulfillment, Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, and Workiva.
Massey Consulting is thrilled to announce that Legacy Healthcare Services is one of our most valuable, hard-working clients. We congratulate Legacy for this accomplishment and are excited to see their continuous successful advancements in the industry.
