C:\>ping SAP TechEd Madrid 2012

We finished the 2nd Day of SAPPHIRE NOW and SAP TechEd in Madrid.

We took the Route 1 Bus to get close into the City Center and to the Trouble. There were thousands of people protesting the EU’s Economical Politics. Policia’s on horses everywhere and helicopters too.

We entered into thet crowd and crossed them while they are marching to a destination (Don’t know where).

But this blog is not about it.

I planned to attend the SAP Solution Manager 7.1 and SAP NetWeaver IDM related hands-on sessions before I came to Madrid.

On the first day during the lecture sessions, and live Demo’s, the Speaker encontered connection problems and decided to switch to backup plan, which is the Video Demo.

It is OK for Lectures, but not for Hands-On Sessions.

Today I decided to leave the session as first we had connection problems to Walldorf and then System Problems.

Even in hotel right now, we’ve serious connection problems mainly based on the speed. I can hardly open my Gmail and SCN.

So the value I’m getting from Hands-On sessions decreased rapidly.

Now, my value order for sessions types changed from;

1. Hands-On
2. Lectures
3. Q&A
4. Expert Networking Sessions

to

1. Lectures
2. Expert Networking Sessions
3. Q&A
4. Hands-On

If they’re unalbe to find solution to this problem, then it will be worthless to attend Hands-On sessions.
