“Nee how” from SAP TechEd Shanghai
Greetings and “Nee how” from Shanghai!
SAP TechEd ’07 Shanghai was held on Nov 6-7 in Shanghai, China. This marks the first ever SAP TechEd in China, and by all counts the sold out event was a huge success. (See photos below.) Initial targets were to achieve attendance of 700 this first year. In fact, the event was placed in “sold out” status the week before the event because of the strong response from the China market. With over 1,200 attending, 48 journalists participating, outstanding keynote presentations by Peter Zencke and Ike Nassi, a warm introduction from Shang-Ling Jui, NetWeaver and enterprise SOA lecture sessions, in-depth hands-on sessions, solution pods, and excellent partner offerings, attendees were treated to a first class TechEd event.
Congratulations to the project team for planning, managing, and executing an outstanding, professional event that generated the same energy and buzz that SAP TechEd is known for in all locations! Fantastic job!
We’re rounding the corner to the finish line. See you all in Bangalore!
Best regards,
Chip
