Every year at SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference, ASUG gathers SAP customers to exchange best practices, lessons learned, and real-world experiences. We know that people learn best from each other, and that idea is what the ASUG community is built on. (source: ASUG)
In the past, ASUG Annual Conference has focused on the “here and now” of SAP while SAPPHIRENOW attendees get a glimpse of the future. But with so many roadmaps available on the ASUG side, ASUG attendees can get a glimpse of the future too.
It’s 21 days away – 3 weeks from today!
As you can see above, planning and work for ASUG Annual Conference spans 8 months of the year, starting in November with the tracks planning and call for speakers through June and the actual conference.
Perhaps you should consider coming a day earlier and consider one of the ASUG Pre-Conferences. There is a long list of pre-conferences to choose from, and one of them focuses on SAP Analytics and you have the ability to experience SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Lumira Designer in a hands-on focused workshop.

This full-day, hands-on workshop will provide customers with an overview of the designer edition of SAP Lumira software and the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. Attendees will learn about the roles that SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Lumira, designer edition, can play as part of their overall SAP software landscape and how they can integrate with their existing on-premise and cloud-based data sources. You will have the opportunity to work directly with the designer edition of SAP Lumira and with SAP Cloud Analytics, in combination with the SAP Business Warehouse application and SAP HANA software, and create a variety of dashboards.
