2008 AGM Jonathan Lassman, Administrator

Technical Director’s Report Sage User Network 2008 Conference Sage User Network Forum Winner Sage User Network Meetings

2008 Conference More varied sponsors Repeated sessions Sponsor participation on second day Earlier notification of sponsor companies Opportunity to see every presentation Continue to offer FREE place for members who present at the event

2008 Conference Questionnaire From the results over the past 5 years, Networking and the Sage Product Update are the main reasons for attending Fewer people attend for the sponsor products, though percentage increased in 2008 when we had some new sponsors Majority still believe the event should be annual and remain a two day event

2008 Conference Comments Each year I think "do I need to go to the conference" but yet again I feel it was well worthwhile and time well spent We had a fantastic time and we thought everything was very well prepared and thanks Presentation quality was excellent
