Yesterday was our first ever SAP Inside Track Israel event, what a great experience!
The event was hosted by SAP Labs Israel and began with networking over a light continental breakfast (yummy). I then had the pleasure of officially opening the day, welcoming everyone to what I hope will be the first of many such events to come. Two key note addresses followed: Mickey Steiner, Managing Director, SAP Labs Israel who spoke about SAP Labs in Israel, its history and how SAP is fostering innovation from product to the customer installation. The second keynote was our own, Amir Blich, Director Emerging Business, who talked about the SAP Ecosystem, SAP EcoHub, SCN and their value.
Attendees then chose from the following interesting sessions that made up 2 tracks:
- Enterprise Workspaces - Personal and Team Business Content with Enterprise Workspaces - Aviad Rivlin

Sadly we had to cancel Innojagd as Craig Cmehil was unable to attend due to illness. We missed having Craig with us but we'll give him a chance to join a future Inside Track Israel event.
The day included lots of networking opportunities to renew old bonds and create new ones. It was a wonderful feeling to see our local community face to face!

Thank you attendees and speakers for making this such a great day.
A big thank you also to the team here at SAP Labs Israel for all arrangements which were top notch and to everyone who volunteered to make this happen; especially Amir Blich and Moshe Naveh.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next SAP Inside Track Israel event!
