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
