The UK's biggest tech company announced the lineup for Sage Summit U.S., a flagship gathering of business builders and entrepreneurs, taking place May 9-11 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. 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, 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.

Summit attendees will also have the opportunity to:

  • Network and learn: Receive product training and actionable advice that can be applied to their own businesses

  • Mentor and collaborate: Connect with some of the most innovative and interesting entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and big thinkers

  • Experience and preview smart technologies: Get up-close and personal with more than 150 sponsors and cutting-edge technologies designed to support business growth

"This May at Summit, Atlanta will become a hotbed of inspiration and technology for entrepreneurs and small business owners -- or 'Business Builders' as we call them. Embracing new innovation in technology and embracing the fourth industrial revolution will be crucial to their success today and tomorrow," said Stephen Kelly, CEO of Sage. "We're excited to celebrate, support and inspire these business builders with this fantastic event in our U.S. hometown, Atlanta."
