This year I'm attending the business event Sage Summit London, having previously visited Sage Summit in Chicago and New Orleans.
Sage Summit London has some fantastic headline speakers including Deborah Meaden and Kelly Hoppen from Dragon's Den. I'm looking forward to hearing from Martha Lane Fox, of LastMinute.com fame. Sahar Hashemi co-founder of Coffee Republic will also be very interesting. Last, but not least, I can't wait to hear from Jamal Edwards, creator of SBTV.
As a Sage customer and fan since 2001 I've found myself doing quite a lot with them in recent years. I've written many blog posts on the Sage blog. I am a Sage Business Expert offering business advice and help to other entrepreneurs. I also work together with Sage on social media and PR campaigns. Several of their senior executives cite Blue Eyed Sun as a case study for small businesses looking to use social media to improve their digital marketing. Much to the amusement of my friends, Sage Summit London has been using photos of me for their online marketing campaigns, some of which you can see to the right of this post.
As well as hearing from the keynote speakers there are some interesting smaller sessions in which I'm hoping to pick up tips on retailing online, how retailers can overcome the challenges of the high street and the latest trends in social media and digital marketing. I also plan to see what Sage have been up to with their new software developments and hear more about their new chatbot Pegg. I've also been asked to mentor small businesses and start ups on Thursday afternoon.
I'm looking forward to meeting new people at the event, as well as seeing some digital friends in person for the first time. I'm looking forward to catching up with my friends on the Sage Team, my fellow Sage Business Experts and other entrepreneurs in my business community. It promises to be an inspiring and eventful two days. If you feel that it might be time to work on your business rather than in your business for a day or two, why not join me? If you can only do one day, I recommend the Thursday. Do reach out to me on my Twitter @JeremyCorner if you are attending. It would be lovely to see you.
