SAP InnoJam
It has become a tradition by now to kick-off the TechEd && d-code season with InnoJams and this year is no exception. This time around the event will take place in Palo Alto and resolve around the theme of 'Internet of Things for the Agricultural Industry'. Of course, HCP will be one of the key technologies we'll use and we'll have subject matter experts on-site to assist where needed. In fact, IoT is a key usage scenario for the HANA Cloud Platform and it's safe to assume that you'll hear more about this topic throughout TechEd. helena.losada has all the details needed here: SAP InnoJam at SAP TechEd && d-code 2014
ASUG Pre-conference
Based on last year's success we will continue to host a pre-conference session in joint cooperation with ASUG prior to the main event. This year no other than rui.nogueira will be your host and provide you with a 'Fast track to the SAP HANA Cloud Platform'. It's the perfect opportunity for those not yet (too) familiar with the platform to get up to speed with HCP, its capabilities and common usage scenarios. Not by coincidence, there will also be a dedicated block in which we'll showcase how-to develop sensor-based applications that communicate with HCP to give you a glimpse of how the platform caters to IoT scenarios.
Keynotes
Personally, I'm really looking forward to the keynotes this year!!!
With steve.lucas and bjoern.goerke we'll see two of SAP's most prolific and high-profile executives setting the stage and knowing that both are strong promoters of the platform I expect HCP to get a good amount of airtime.
If Steve pulls off another of his famous upbeat talks [VIDEO] about the value proposition of cloud platforms - as he has done at SAPPHIRE NOW - then we are all in for a ride! On this matter, I'm sharing the perception of richard.hirsch that having Steve talk about the platform greatly helps to get the attention from the non-technical people in the audience.
As the HCP veterans among you know, HCP was incubated under the leadership of Björn and he was among the first executives to publicly talk about HCP (Announcing: Project River). He'll most probably share our plans for HCP and the future direction of the platform and address the developers and technical people in the audience in his inimitable style.

With so many valuable sessions to choose from it's hard to point out individual ones. Of course, it greatly depends on your skill level and interest on which sessions you should consider attending. However, if I would have to point out must-attend sessions my personal (!!!) recommendations would be the following ones:
Hands-on workshops:
- DEV164, Build SAP HANA Cloud Applications Which Integrate with On-Premise Systems - Given that hybrid (on-premise & cloud) IT landscapes are the future I believe that this session is the perfect fit for those considering to extend their on-premise business into the cloud. Markus and Jens will teach you all you need to know to start your journey.
- DEV260, Unleash SAP Fiori-Like Applications to the Web on SAP HANA Cloud Platform - Fiori has been a hot topic recently (and rightly so) and the capabilities that HCP brings to the table to empower you to build your own Fiori-like applications takes it to the next level. Robert and Jens have established a reputation for providing first-class tutorials (e.g. ESPM) and as such you're in for a special treat if you enroll for this workshop.
- DEV261, Developing SAP HANA Native Applications with SAP HANA Cloud Platform - The list of people who run this workshop reads like the who-is-who in developer evangelism at SAP and includes no less than three SAP Mentors. You all heard about SAP HANA as a development platform and if you're curious to get a first-hand experience than you rather enroll for this workshop ASAP - if there's a seat left, that is!
Lectures:
- DEV102, Build, Extend, and Run Applications with SAP HANA Cloud Platform - This session is the perfect fit for people new to the topic. If you want to get a solid overview than this session is the one to attend. Jana and Thorsten are both working in our Product Management team and as such perfectly suited to get you up to speed.
- DEV203, Extend SuccessFactors Using SAP HANA Cloud Platform Applications - Stanimir will cover another primary usage scenario for HCP: SaaS extensions. Those interested to extend SuccessFactors solutions or people with an HR focus should mark their calendars!
- DEV207, Innovate and Simplify with Customer and Partner Developments - Wolfgang will share with you best practices and role models derived from the experiences made with existing customers and partners with a focus on on-premise extensions using HCP.
Roadmap and Overview sessions:
- DEV100, Overview of Development and Extension Platform for SAP HANA and Cloud - In this overview session Karl will provide an overview about SAP's development platforms including HANA, ABAP 7.4 and of course HCP.
