Only one month to go! It is that time of year again, Cebit is coming to Sydney 35,000 wild business and technology people from around 60 countries in a frenzy of new and cool stuff in one place.

CeBIT is THE International Trade Show for Information Technology, Telecommunications, Software and Services. In other words, if you want to geek-out or get a real competitive advantage for your business you will love it.

Last year was good

Last year Saasu won the one and only highly prized ‘excellence in innovation platinum award’ for our flagship product NetAccounts. We were going to insert lots of other blatant boasting and superlatives here but thought that was probably more than you can take already.

This year will be even better

This year there will be something like 750 exhibitors from 20+ countries.

This year we will be speaking at the conference in the Transaction 2.0 section, chairing a session and of course exhibiting.

Best of all, as part of the Saasu foundation work we do, Saasu will be the sole green sponsor for the event, we are making the venue carbon neutral for the event for EVERY EXHIBITOR just so we can say we did our bit. Gold standard of course.

Special Bonus (or two)

As a special bonus you can register free as a friend of Saasu just quote code SAASUCA08 and you will get in free which is a fairly substantial saving off the normal door price of $40.

If you visit us at the show you will receive an extra month on your subscription for new and current customers! We will be asking all our visitors two questions - what do they like most about saasu today and what would they like to see in our coming releases?

You will also be able to see our latest release demonstrated and talk to the experts about your needs, wants, desires and passions in the field of financial management success.

Finding Saasu at CeBIT

So do drop by stand S45, on the main aisle right next to our mates from salesforce.com (in case you have been living in a cave and hadn’t already heard, saasu integrates instantly with salesforce).

We are smack bang in the middle of the main business-software/e-finance/CRM section which takes up most of halls 4 and 5.

If you are in business that uses serious amounts of tech on a day to day basis then Barcamp Sydney is a great way to learn from (and even contribute back into) the IT industry.

Barcamp Sydney is a free event for you thanks to the event sponsors. The idea is that you can present for 15 minutes on a relevant topic and also listen to the dozens of presenters over two days. There are some really interesting topics lined up on social media, social capital, web services, coding, community and entrepreneurship. This is just a sample that will occur across 3 or 4 presentation rooms. Pick and choose your interests. I will be there as a presenter on the topic of Productivity 2.0 in business.

Saasu is also a sponsor of the carbon offsets required to make it a sustainable event via our Saasu Foundation

Date: 5th and 6th April 2008
Time: 9:00 am - 5:30pm
Venue: Roundhouse at UNSW on Anzac Pde, Kensington, Sydney.
