ClubZone 2021: Celebrating Sugar Users
Catch Up on all the Action from Our First SugarCRM ClubZone User Conference
Were you able to join us at ClubZone 2021, our inaugural virtual user conference? MC’d by Jana Ferguson, our Director of Customer Enablement, the online interactive event saw the SugarCRM community come together to learn from and engage with one another.
Packed full of practical breakout sessions, it was (and still is) a great place to learn best practices, tips, and tricks, get inspired, and understand how Sugar and Sugar customers…use Sugar. In fact, 75% of the agenda was submitted by the audience!
The best part? The ClubZone sessions have been transformed into training courses available through SugarU and are available by track to playback right now. Whether you missed it the first time, want to rewatch a particularly inspiring session, or want to check out sessions in your track that aired for different regions, you can jump back into ClubZone whenever you want.
“The first rule of SugarClub? Everyone is welcome at SugarClub!” – Jana Ferguson, Director of Customer Enablement, SugarCRM
We want everyone to be successful in their role using Sugar’s products. Busy is usually an understatement for marketing, sales, and service roles, and time is our most precious resource. For that reason, we’ve worked hard to make sure ClubZone and SugarClub are here to support you and your goals and make it fun along the way too.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the many highlights from ClubZone 2021:

From a Good Idea to a Sugar Product
Have you built something on Sugar that is valuable? Or do you have an idea on how to solve a frequent problem that Sugar users face? The Sugar platform can be extended in countless ways to solve all sorts of issues that save you and your fellow users time and money. But how do you take an idea or even a complete solution you’ve implemented for yourself and share it with others? You need to know how to research, design, implement, and then go to market with a solution for SugarCloud and on-premises. Matt Marum, Director of Product Management at Sugar, covered tips, best practices, and the required steps to become a successful technology (ISV) partner in the Sugar ecosystem.
ClubZone was created by SugarClub, our simple to use, one-stop-shop community for all things Sugar, including training, best practices, how-to’s, updates, and much more. A place where anyone can learn more about Sugar and how to make the most of our products and offerings. The best part of SugarClub is the collaboration between our worldwide users; you are what makes it an excellent place to hang out!
