My notes are as follows:

• Room leader for track
• 10 tracks
• Speaker introductions
• We get a packet with bios
• Speakers arrive 10 minutes early
• End at 40 minutes

I was track chair for hybrid analytics one day and the next day for SAP Analytics Cloud. I agree with what Chris Rae said about his role as track chair – you attend sessions you normally would not think of attending. See the MasteringSAP Podcast

Monday, March 11, started with a hands-on preconference:
