What 90 Minds Consulting Group does

90 Minds Consulting Group, formalized in 2010, is a private member-only professional community that serves ERP consultants and resellers specializing in Sage 100 and Sage Intacct across the United States and Canada. The organization is governed by an elected member Board of Directors with Anne Sawyer serving as Executive Director since Spring 2021, and explicitly positions itself as free from publisher control despite a strategic relationship with Sage. Its customer base spans more than 300 Sage partners, including individual consultants, mid-market consulting firms (e.g., I-Business Network, SmartBridge Partners, MBA Business Software, MicroAccounting/Rand Group), and a curated set of affiliate ISVs/Vendors.

The core technology stack is the Higher Logic-powered Thrive Online Forum, a private 24/7 peer-to-peer collaboration platform for technical expertise sharing, best practice exchange, and ISV solution discovery, supplemented by member-only webinars, roundtables, an Affiliate Insider Series, and vertical-specific Industry Councils (manufacturing, distribution, professional services). The flagship annual product is Meeting of the Minds (MOTM), a peer-led conference that has scaled from 160+ attendees in 2023 to 185+ in 2025, with 40+ sessions and a dedicated Sage Intacct Track added for 2026.

The revenue model is a three-stream subscription and event hybrid: (1) individual/firm consultant membership dues starting at $500/year with enterprise multi-seat packages, (2) affiliate/ISV membership dues at $2,500-$5,000 annually, and (3) conference revenue combining attendee registrations ($1,150 early bird to $1,600 non-member) with a fully tiered sponsorship structure ranging from $1,800 (Friend of 90 Minds) to a sold-out exclusive Diamond tier. Distribution is direct via the community platform and the annual conference, with Sage functioning as both publisher-relationship anchor and exclusive Diamond sponsor of MOTM 2026.
