Get Pumped and Get Packing: It’s Time for SAP Ariba Live 2016

SAP Ariba Live 2016 will be the best yet. Join us March 14 – 16 in Las Vegas for the opportunity to hear stories and best practices from our customers, learn about our newest innovations, and find out how SAP Ariba is redefining the future of business commerce. I personally view SAP Ariba Live as its own entity, encapsulating and shining a spotlight on innovations, and providing an arena for looking ahead together with our customers and partners.

Making it simple, smart and open


Don’t miss the chance to hear Alex Atzberger, President of SAP Ariba, showcase SAP Ariba’s vision, road map, and key innovations.

The theme of SAP Ariba Live is simple, smart, and open. Running smart and fast—that’s table stakes. But your business can’t get there without simplifying, streamlining, and being open to every sharp turn on the road to success. And you’ll also need ideas, information, and inspiration. Make SAP Ariba Live an essential part of your journey as you define your strategies and scale your businesses to enable business commerce.

Speakers from Shark Tank, WIRED magazine, and NYU


The three keynote speakers at SAP Ariba Live will push you to think outside the box, expand your awareness of emerging technology trends, and begin to see how those trends can elevate products and services to drive significant value and investment. They’ll challenge you to see how to drive a successful business by embracing technology, and to imagine how corporations can be at the forefront of change in life and in business. These three thought leaders will invite thinking and collaboration amongst all attendees—giving you inspiration to last long after you unpack your suitcase. They are:

Robert Herjavec: CEO, Investor, Entrepreneur, and Star of ABC’s Shark Tank

A dynamic entrepreneur, Robert has bought and sold several IT companies. In 2003, he founded Herjavec Group and it quickly became one of North America’s fastest-growing technology companies. Robert is currently a Shark on ABC’s Emmy Award-winning hit Shark Tank as well as a best-selling author.    

Michael H. Posner: Professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business

As a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, Michael is working to launch the first-ever center on business and human rights at a business school. Prior to joining NYU Stern, Michael served from 2009 to 2013 in the Obama Administration as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the State Department. From 1978 to 2009, he led Human Rights First, a New York-based human rights advocacy organization.


Greg Williams: Deputy Editor of WIRED Magazine

Greg is a leading authority on technology trends and how those impact business and society. As Deputy Editor of WIRED Magazine, Greg meets the innovators, thinkers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are changing the world. He writes on a variety of subjects, including innovation, technology, business, creativity, and ideas.


We’ll see you in Las Vegas!

Organizations are experiencing such an incredible speed of change today. Yet while business is constantly evolving and becoming more complex, innovations are also increasing to make processes simplified and more efficient. Please join me this year at SAP Ariba Live to discover more about these pioneering innovations—in the most vibrant and collaboration-inviting setting possible.
