An Estimator's Guide to Summit
You may be asking yourself whether it makes sense to attend Sage Summit if you are focused on the Estimating function at your company. We thought an overview of the available sessions might be helpful. After reviewing the list below, you can go to www.sagesummit.com for complete registration information.
Beginner Level
Novice users should consider the Estimate and Database Fundamentals sessions. These are essentially the same basic estimating sessions offered via Sage University. They are multi-part sessions taught in the lab so you can practice what you learn with an instructor right there to help you and answer questions. When you participate in these sessions, you work with the same group of colleagues throughout the conference and learn the software together!

These Crystal Reports sessions will be taught by Dr. Joe Callahan, a popular speaker and long-time estimating consultant.
