1. Sharing your Selfie Wall picture in Twitter with #SAPCommunity #SAPTechEd
2. Watch out for Capra, the goat on the show floor and share your snapshot with these hashtags: #goatspotting #SAPCommunity and #SAPTechEd and #SAPMentors
If you don’t know who Capra is, I recommend Colleen Hebbert’s blogpost.
3. This one might be a bit tricky, but if you manage to follow Paul Hardy’s secret SAP TechEd ground rules you definitely deserve some!
4. While you are at SAP TechEd, comment on this blogpost who you met at SAP TechEd Las Vegas, by using our youngest functionality @mention, we’ll be handing out special coffee mugs, which are even more popular, but also more limited.
If you are checking in on Monday (Sep. 25th) between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., some of our team members will be at the registration area, too. We’ll be happy if you come by and say hi to us. It will be worth it, that’s all I’m saying for now. 🙂
If you are a Community Award Winner, and coming to TechEd Las Vegas we have reserved VIP-seats for you at the keynote. Please look out for Audrey Stevenson, who will help you find your seat. Additionally, you will learn at our booth what other special treatment we have for you.
With so many things going on, here is who will welcome you at SAP TechEd Las Vegas from the SAP Community Experience team:
For those of you who won’t be able to attend SAP TechEd this year, you can always follow the SAP TechEd live stream: www.sapteched.com/online or the recommended Twitter accounts: @SAPTechEd @SAPCommunity and @SAPMentors to stay tuned on the latest happenings.
Additionally, Caroleigh Deneen will have a surprise for those of you who can’t attend to have your own SAP TechEd experience in the Community, so watch out for Caroleigh’s blog coming soon. 🙂
With this, all I’m saying is: This goat to be good and see you in Vegas!
I wish I was going to TechEd, but I can't wait to share a surprise from the sidelines next week!
You will be in our minds (and hearts) for sure, Caroleigh!
I also wish that I can go but not this year 🙁 🙁 🙁
Oh, that’s unfortunate Yogesh Patel . We’ll make sure you won’t be forgotten at TechEd!
Looking forward to meeting the SCN team in Vegas! I hope I will be able to restrain myself and be just "a little disappointed" (like Mr. Zorg) by someone killing SCN. 🙂
#SAPTechEd in Las Vegas is already more than half away. But still, many interesting things are going on and planned. #SAPTechEd is always an opportunity to learn something (or all) new stuff and get your hands dirty many times. However, it's even more important to grab a chance to meet new people. Is there a limit for maximum mentions per one reply in #SAPCommunity? I'd need to know because I have a huge list. Calling for Mynyna Chau and Jamie Cantrell for help here.
It was great to meet many experts such as Gayathri Narayana in Cloud Integration questions, Jeff Gebo and Vladimir Pavlov in hybris Cloud for Customer and Extensibility area.
And certainly young and ready for the future @community_goat and @SAPMentors. Wait.... What??? No such profiles on #SAPCommunity??? Should be fixed, should it not? Anyway, #SAPTechEd is awesome. In all ways you could imagine.
Hi Andrey,
i believe the current limit is 7 per comment. This was implemented to help divert spammers. Great to see you at the show! I'll talk to Capra & see what she thinks about getting her own Community account 🙂
