Hold the Door! We’re on our way to SAPPHIRE!
SAPPHIRE is coming!
In just a few days, we’ll be on our way to this year’s SAPPHIRE NOW + ASUG Annual Conference. Our flight to Orlando may not be as exciting as riding one of Daenerys’ dragons but we’re excited for what this adventure will bring in terms of learning about new technologies and solutions. And, of course, the annual concert. (Who needs Westerosi royalty when you’ve got Lady “of the Realm” Gaga?)
This year, SAPPHIRE is placing their focus on community and we couldn’t be more excited to connect with SAP learners in the new “neighborhoods.” Our books are inspired by the experiences that you, as the readers, put forth and we can’t wait to talk with you at our booth!
As always, there are a multitude of sessions being led by SAP PRESS authors. They may not have any Valerian steel hidden up their sleeves, but what they do have is a wealth of cutting-edge knowledge about the latest in SAP S/4HANA, SAP Leonardo, machine learning and more.
