Event Information
SAP Teched for the Passionate | 2018 Barcelona
For many SAP Teched is not just a conference to learn and socialize. It’s an amazing energy that keeps them motivated. My first Teched was in 2012 when my manager wanted me to attend it. Since then I didn’t miss it. I am always surprised by the content being shared in this event – I need 5 more Midhuns to cover it.
So much to learn, so little time
This year I was more focused on hands-on sessions than the lectures. I usually used to focus on a single topic and cover all the hands-on and lectures related to it. But, since I am working on SAP Cloud Platform, and it’s not just a product but a platform including many services it’s not easy to attend all the sessions on each service. So, I have attended the handsons as many as possible so that I will never forget what I learned – As the quote says “what you hear, you forget; what you see, you remember; what you do, you understand”.
I also had an opportunity to deliver a couple of hands-on sessions which kept me superbusy during the event.
A lot of faces from the past!
When you are at Teched the chances are high that you are meeting like-minded people and your old friends. The best places to be at are SAP Mentors Reception(the evening before Teched- as an SAP Mentor Alumnus and SAP Technology Ambassador I was invited) and the Developer Garage(#wherethecoolshithappens).
Even with 5 hours of sleep a day, I will complain that “there wasn’t enough time to meet everyone I wanted”. It was amazing to catchup with each other after a year.
Customers
I couldn’t be more thrilled! One of the most important reasons to be at Teched is the chance to meet all our customers in one place. As usual, our team has created a dedicated SAP Cloud Platform specific agenda for our customers. It was amazing to see them on stage presenting – I think it was a great opportunity for the audience to understand the actual architectures of customers with SAP Cloud Platform. Over the dinner, we talked about SAP,… and Yoga 😉
And the passionate!
People who skipped lunch or ate less to attend a session, slept less to meet people, drank a lot ?, wore blue shirts(of course the Mentors), put on SAP shoe, socks… I am sure that it will take some time to come out of what you have experienced in the last 3 days. For everyone attended it was a memorable and unforgettable event.
I am back to Dubai with my heart full of gratitude – and hope to see you next year ?
true words, midhun! was great meeting you.
It was great meeting you too, Max. See you next time!

Awesome that you liked the SAP Mentors reception in El Mama Barcelona, Midhun. I also think it was a great event and "the place to be" that evening 😉
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing you next time!
It was an awesome reception Svea. Lucky that I didn't miss it.
Hope to see you next time!
It was great to see you, man! The conference and all things surrounding were well worth time invested.
It was awesome to meet you, Witalij. When we meet next time what I wanted from you is a pair of SAP socks just like the ones you have 😉
