Blag's recommended sessions for SAP TechEd Las Vegas 2012

[former_member182779]

So...SAP TechEd Las Vegas is just around the corner...many sessions are scheduled and maybe, for a lot of people, this is going to be their first SAP TechEd Event...I remember when I had my first one back in 2007...I wasn't really sure which sessions I should attend, so I attend a lot and but still missed some that I would be more than happy to attend...

That's why, this year I took the big effort of downloading all sessions...read all the titles...sort them by topic and level...didn't peek at the speakers as I didn't want to choose "my friends" sessions only...

What I did, was choose the ones that I would attend myself if I had the time...which sadly...I don't...but still will attend a couple.

Hope you enjoy the list and hope to meet you in one of this awesome sessions...BTW...don't forget to update your Agenda Builder!
