They say the true value of a conference isn’t found in the slides or the schedules, but in the moments and connections that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
#TPACAsia2025, held at the beautiful Mai House Hotel, Saigon, was precisely that kind of experience—one that I know will remain embedded in my memory for a lifetime.
An Atmosphere That Set This Event Apart
From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary event. The air wasn’t just filled with anticipation—it was buzzing with a unique, positive energy.
A significant part of that energy, for me and for many others, came from Douglas Ash, Mich Martins, and Rob Reinking. They set an unmistakable tone of warmth, openness, and collaboration that carried through every session and interaction.
That spirit of collaboration became the true cornerstone of the event.
Meaningful Connections and Forward-Thinking Conversations
One of the most exhilarating aspects of TPAC Asia 2025 was the opportunity to meet and engage with so many like-minded partners, including:
- AutoSimply Company Limited

- Norming Software International Limited
- Orchid Systems
- Pacifictech
- Zap
- Boostorder
- Greytrix
- Nectari Software Inc.
- CI Global
- Sesami
- TaiRox Software Inc.
The discussions went far beyond the “what” and “how” of today. Instead, they explored the “what if” of tomorrow—brainstorming future integrations, sharing bold ideas, and collectively envisioning what lies ahead for the Sage ecosystem.
These conversations weren’t theoretical; they felt purposeful, energizing, and impactful—work that will undoubtedly help shape our shared future.
A Meticulously Curated Experience
A standing ovation is due to the entire TPAC organizing team. They didn’t simply plan an event; they curated a complete experience.
Every detail was thoughtfully considered and executed at an exceptional level. The Mai House Saigon provided a stunning and sophisticated backdrop, and the food was nothing short of a culinary delight—adding to the sense that this event was truly special.
Valuable Access to Sage Leadership
Another major highlight was the access to Sage representatives, including:
- Jeff Richards
- John Thomas
- Michael Small
- Priya Sukesh
These interactions were incredibly valuable. The conversations struck a powerful balance between deep knowledge sharing and genuine relationship building. They listened carefully to real-world challenges and openly shared their roadmaps, reinforcing trust and alignment for the road ahead.
More Than an Event—A Foundation for the Future
TPAC Asia 2025 did more than provide updates on new features or strategies. It built a foundation.
The knowledge gained and the connections forged have given us a clear and confident pathway forward. We are no longer approaching an evolving market with uncertainty, but with a reinforced belief in our capabilities and a powerful network to support us.
The confidence this event instilled in all of us may be its most precious gift.
