SAP TechEd - Las Vegas 2011 (Blag's perspective)

[former_member182779]

So...TechEd Las Vegas is over...and it's time for my recap...and as word of warning...a lot of images may follow -;)

I get to Las Vegas on Monday 12 at about 3:00 pm because I had a flight delay...so the only thing I really did was to check in with my family, took a shower and went to say "Hi" to my friends participating on InnoJam...sadly I didn't have my camera at that point, and really forgot about my IPhone camera...what kind of Geek am I, right?

Anyway...next day...that's Tuesday 13, I went off again, this time for the SAP Mentors Welcome Reception...

Then...we all enjoyed the Keynote!

Mark Yolton welcomed us as always...

Awesome! A message from Hasso!

Vishal enlighten us with some HANA

I went to my first session "Secure ABAP Programming" hosted by Horst Keller and Ulrich Brink. You can see that Regular Expressions are everywhere -;)

Later that day, I attended...DEMO JAM! The most awesome, weird and exciting contest ever created...for Geeks of course -:)

Our new host Ian Kimbell was very funny and entertainment...but the Cmehil legacy could never be worn out...

Here are the nominees for Demo Jam...I remember someone told me once..."Blag...why are not you on Demo Jam?" to which I replied..."I wouldn't be fair for the boys and girls...let's them have some fun" -:P I'm joking of course...

Small recap of the Demo Jam demos...

Small tip...this guys was the winner -;)

On Wednesday 14, I attended and kind of help Thomas Jung in his long awaited session "Update ABAP Skills: Layered Development and Powerful Frameworks"...it was sold out as always!

Later that night...the SCNotties took place...along with a Black Elvis, White Elvis and backup Elvis's? TechEd is getting more weird every year -:)

Very late that night...I attended Embracing Inclusion and Design Thinking to Drive Innovation...a very nice event that deserves a blog on it's own...here's a pic of my team (not complete, and with some outsiders)...

To give an end to an more than amazing week...The Enterprise Geeks (Well...Thomas Jung only) and 21 more people went to the Wynn buffet to the last TechEd meal...

I wish I had taken more pics...but I was eating...so...you know...dinner's comes first -;)

How was your TechEd experience? Was it good? Tell us about it -:)
