Dear All,

SAP TechEd Las Vegas 2016 is now a wrap!  For the SAP Mentors team, the event was a big success on many levels. We are especially proud to hear Mentors acknowledged for their community contributions in the Keynote, while equally proud to see Mentors active in all aspects of TechEd – from pre-conference activities to lecture sessions to evening events. See below for highlights from last week and a few resources to help continue the conversation.

It’s a wrap!

Looking at the big list above, we are happy and proud to have such a diverse group of SAP Mentors that help us keep SAP relevant through all these diverse activities. You may agree if we say that we were really able to gather diverse perspectives at TechEd Las Vegas, built new relationships, supported our networking and co-innovation and also the “celebrating part” was successful! Looking forward to the next TechEds in Bangalore and Barcelona to come.

Thank you for being a part of this and for making this week a success for the SAP Mentors program.
