Embrace the @SAPMentors Magic: #ASUG #SAPTechEd SAP Mentor Sessions for Your Consideration
The SAP TechEd session catalog for Las Vegas (October 2-5) went live last week, and it is a great time to be planning to attend SAP TechEd Las Vegas in October. In 2011, SAP’s gave me an “SCN Executive Handbook” and it says
In-person events augment, deepen and strengthen community member relationships with each other and with SAP while providing a platform and venue for information exchange, education and market influencing thought leadership
I would say SAP TechEd fits this description. Mark Yolton, formerly of SAP, called it the “SAP Community family reunion”.
Please consider adding the following SAP Mentor sessions to your schedule:
| Session | Speaker | Details |
|---|---|---|

SAP has a convince your boss letter to download today. Explain that you will be a more valuable asset to your organization by attending SAP’s premier technical conference
At last year’s SAP TechEd, SAP Mentor sessions were some of the top attended ASUG sessions at the event. In fact, Graham Robinson’s “abapGit: Modernizing ABAP Development” was one of the top attended sessions . I want to congratulate the SAP Mentor speakers above.
You can find session descriptions in the session catalog. I want thank all the presenters for preparing this great content and thank everyone who wanted to present a session. We had a record breaking year of submissions and it was not possible to select everyone.
Why should you consider ASUG sessions at SAP TechEd? Michelle Crapo says in this blog :
ASUG sessions present things you can use immediately.
I want to bring one thing back and use it. Anything. Usually I find that in the ASUG run session
I encourage you to register today. The SAP TechEd web site gives you reasons to attend – people, roadmaps, problem-solving, and education. Also see Thorsten Franz’s blog “Why I REALLY attend SAP TechEd“
Hat tip to Moya Watson – I am liberally borrowing her phrase “embrace the magic”.
See you there? What did I miss?
Ha! Thanks for the credit Tammy 🙂
i saw it and thought it sounded clever — hadn’t realized I dreamt it up in the first place.
This looks like a fabulous collection once again of top content from the SAP community! Thanks for bringing it together for us.
