— Your Session Preferences / Schedule Builder |
|
This schedule builder is broken down into the three days of the conference. On Wednesday, the program begins with six don't miss, ASUG-led roundtables that are an important beginning to enhancing your conference experience. Please arrange your travel to take part in these dynamic discussions. Wednesday afternoon offers six subject-specific, deep-dive workshops to really get your arms around key subjects. And, Wednesday evening will showcase a significant glimpse into how organizations are collaborating to fuel innovation.
Thursday begins with inspiring keynotes from SAP, ASUG and two customers by showcasing their incredible journeys. Friday begins with two inspirational customer stories and an important SAP-run panel discussion on Sustainability. After the keynote sessions, four concurrent tracks will run per day. Every afternoon and early evening (Wed., Thur., and Friday) there are networking functions planned with food and beverages to enhance the collaboration. On Friday, a special wine tasting and awards ceremony will be held at the Woodley Park Zoo, just a few minutes walk from the hotel. A showcase you don't want to miss!
Please select the sessions you are most interested in attending. This is an indication only and is by no means binding—it will simply help you to plan your personal agenda and will assist us with venue preparation. You are free to change your selection at any time before or during the conference by simply re-doing this schedule builder. |
