Top speakers, including Sage CEO Stephen Kelly, will share insights about how entrepreneurs can energise the success of their businesses.

Sage is expected to unveil new products, with the firm’s CEO using his keynote speech to announce new tools, technologies and partnerships. He will also unveil Sage’s plans to use the Sage Foundation Enterprise Fund to change the lives of young people, women and military veterans around the region.

Joining Stephen Kelly will be Anton van Heerden (Sage’s MD and Executive VP for Africa and Middle East), Nick Goode ( Sage’s Executive VP for Product Management), Ivan Epstein (Chairman of Sage Foundation), Dr. Cheick Diarra (Astrophysicist, Businessman and Malian Politician) and Luke McKend (Country Director, Google South Africa).

Bringing together Sage’s customers, partners, and colleagues, the Sage Summit Tour is designed to encourage learning and networking, while celebrating the power of the global entrepreneurial business community.

Anton van Heerden, MD and Executive VP, Africa and Middle East at Sage said: “During Sage Summit, Johannesburg becomes the hub for the region’s entrepreneurs. This community is the most powerful driver of economic prosperity in the Africa and Middle East’s economy, creating more than two thirds of all jobs. We will celebrate these business builders, support them with the technology of tomorrow and seek to give them a voice on the world stage.”
