Sage promised 20,000, so even though 15,000 is really good for this kind of event, it still falls short of what was advertised. Because of last-minute promotions, the other question is how serious were the attendees who bit on bargain-basement prices? The conference website advertised prices of $199, $299 and $399 and by the time I looked at those, the first two were not available. Strangely, the $399 offer was and that's very curious since Sage was offering $399 on the website and $99 through media such as Bloomberg News. I'm sure somebody can logically explain this. What also happened, easier to discern, is a broad-based mess with registration. There were reports Sage stopped checking badges on a couple of events because it was so bad. You know, with web-based and mobile registration available in a lot of places, registration at conferences I have attended has become a much simpler process so this report is a bit unusual. Again, I'm sure someone can correct any misimpressions I have.
