Notable entrepreneur George Foreman will headline the conference to inspire and motivate businesses at every stage of their journey -- from start-ups to mid-sized and enterprise.
Foreman will join Sage CEO Stephen Kelly and other speakers in a three-day experience that will showcase how businesses can embrace an admin free business with artificial intelligence (AI), bots, and blockchain to be best positioned for success in a changing world.
Foreman, an Olympic gold medalist, two-time world boxing champion and knockout entrepreneur, will share personal experiences to help companies stay relevant and competitive, as well as inspire growth. Last year's Sage Summit in Chicago drew thousands of attendees and featured speakers including Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashton Kutcher, Zooey Deschanel, Robert Herjavec and more.
"Entrepreneurism is critical to building a profession, growing a successful business and, overall, creating a strong economy. I'm thrilled to share my experiences and lessons learned at an event that's focused on growing and supporting entrepreneurs of all kinds," said Foreman.
In addition to Foreman, attendees will hear from an accomplished line of speakers, as well as Sage executives including Nancy Harris, EVP, Sage North America and Nick Goode, EVP of Product Management to discuss Sage's tech vision for the future.
