For ERP resellers, the opportunities are too few and far between where they are able to spend quality time with their peers and ISV partners in the channel.
For many, this is why they come to Website Pipeline's Partner Huddle events.
As Pat Falle, Global Chief Evangelist of Avalara, puts it - " At the Website Pipeline Partner Huddle, everyone knows everyone. Everyone is really cheering each other on, and there's no competitive feeling amongst the group. We are all there to listen and learn from each other - it's about helping each other succeed and move forward."
With more than 30 partners, Sage reps, ISVs, and 2 keynote guest speakers in attendance, this Website Pipeline Partner Huddle was the biggest to date.
Marketing Monarchs' Jon Rivers
Those who took part in the day-long huddle at Website Pipeline headquarters not only learned insider advice on managing social media from expert Jon Rivers, they also gained insight from industry thought leader, Pat Falle, on how to build a vision and culture that is a catalyst for success.

Our friends from the ERP software vendor community also came to talk with partners about what they do, and answer questions about how different software works together. They shared customer success stories to paint a clear picture of the customers that can benefit most from various ERP upgrades.

Here's proof that we can all get along: ScanForce's Steve Showalter sitting with Scanco's Kristie Lomelo and Cody Smith.
Maybe just as important (in our eyes), was the time spent post-meeting with our partners and friends that came from all over the U.S. to see us.

This year Website Pipeline chose local Greenville watering hole, Jack and Diane's, to host the evening event.
Throughout the evening, the mirror behind the entertainers had several Sage-, ISV-, and Partner Huddle-related messages
There were tons of laughs, quite a bit of singing along, and even a special serenade sung on-stage to our very own Darcy Boerio.
To those who were able to make it - we had an absolute blast with each and every one of you - and can't wait to see you back next time!

Many people arrived in town Thursday night and joined us for dinner, drinks (okay, mostly drinks with a touch of dinner), and then a "Date Night" walk through downtown Greenville to Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge.
