EPM Sessions at ASUG Annual Conference and SapphireNOW 2013
In case you hadn’t heard (yeah, right) ASUG Annual Conference and SAPPHIRE NOW Orlando 2013 is May 13-16, 2013. In an effort to help those of you interested in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), I’ve compiled what I believe to be the full listing of EPM-related sessions that are happening during the week and included it below. Now, I suppose that there could be other sessions and there could be some last-minute changes that need to be made, so as a disclaimer, you may want to use the Agenda Builder that’s associated with the conference website to make sure that you have an up-to-date agenda and don’t miss out on anything you really want to see.
As the ASUG EPM Special Interest Group Chair, I feel it’s my duty to plug the pre-conference session that takes place on Monday morning, which requires an additional registration fee, but it’s sure to be a fantastic session. In addition, we have two influence sessions scheduled during the week on Wednesday and Thursday, so if you’re interested in how to influence the direction of EPM and/or Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC), then you don’t want to miss those.
I hope that everyone has a great week in Orlando and that you achieve your goals for the conference!
