Why Should I Submit?

If your abstract is accepted, you receive complimentary registration, you get the opportunity to share your knowledge and showcase yourself and your company. I’ve also found when I presented that I learn far more than the audience. It’s the rehearsal, preparation, and the process.

What are some tips to submit?

Some tips for your abstract:

Tips are also on this link.

I would add the tip to “submit early” and “submit often”.  Often abstracts are submitted at the last minute, and they may end up in the wrong track, and the committee does not have time to catch.

Please also note the emphasis this year, as always, is on customer stories.  If you are an SAP employee or a partner, I would encourage you to submit with a customer.

Spelling counts!  Also something from Jennie Moreau – “cut the fluff” and “hit and quit it” in your abstract.

For BI, the track name is called “Business Intelligence, BW, SAP HANA (BI/BW), BusinessObjects Cloud, Big Data”

Other tips, per ASUG:

Abstract Title

• Limited to 75 characters, including spaces
• Make it Interesting: this is the first thing attendees will see – entice them to read further
• Best Practice: if presenting a customer story, advertise the customer name by including it in the title

Session Description (Abstract)

• Keep it Concise: abstracts are limited to 500 characters, including spaces
• Write to Appeal to the Audience: if selected, this abstract will be displayed in the session catalog and may be used in promotional materials for the event
• Longer and more detailed information can be provided in the “agenda overview” field
