In case you feel a little overwhelmed by all the SAPanese, jargon, and lingo, here is a cheat sheet to sort it out.
24th Edition
The SAP Technical Developers Conference was first held in 1996 in Orlando, Florida during SAPPHIRE. This evolved into an annual event with conferences in Europe, the US, and Asia. The last decade it has been hosted from three location, mostly Las Vegas, Barcelona, and Bangalore, for 3-4 days.

Sign Up / Log In
Learn how to sign up, build your schedule and get the most out of more than 500 sessions available.
Before you can sign-up for the event, you need an SAP ID service account, also free, and if you have interacted with SAP in any way in the past you probably already have one (e.g. your SAP Community account) but if not, here is how.
Tracks and Sessions
This year, the tracks nicely map to the latest Business Technology Platform update which, as you may recall, is an integrated offering comprised of four technology portfolios:
- Database and data management
- Application development and integration
- Analytics
- Intelligent technologies
The 4 BTP tracks have been complemented, like last year, with tracks about the Intelligent Suite and digital transformation. New are the Customer Experience and Partner Community tracks.

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more.
For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view mile stone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month. |
@ Jelena Perfiljeva | as promised
Phew .. thanks ... that was really overdue.
Q: What is the schedule?
I see „December 8–10, 2020“ and „48h Event“ ... that seems to not fit together.
As the event this year covers all times zones the date (dec8-10) is much more than 48h.
Having a more detailed schedule (start/end) would be helpful to plan accordingly.
Christian
Good questions, Christian Braukmüller !
When I know more I’ll update the blog accordingly. Note that this is just a humble community contribution, all official communication is through the event site events.sap.com/teched-global.
The 48 hours, as I understand it, refers to Channel 1.
For most timezones the 48 hours are Dec 8 -10, and it will be around the 48 hours, plus if you miss something we make sure there is access to the content after.
Thanks for this Denys! Note there will be access to a limited edition of SAP Learning Hub scaled specifically for TechEd. Looking forward to the exciting new format!
Thanks Jessica for mentioning: I have updated the blog accordingly.
As many others looking forward to more details on the program 😉
I am a bit worried regarding the upcoming virtual experience having the 'Sapphire NOW Reimagined' in June, as well as the 'ASUG Best Practices' in September in mind. Crossing fingers for your setup.
If you in some way can "engage" and interact with us listeners during the session, I strongly encourage you to do so. Real-time feedback tools like Kahoot! or Mentimeter "actually works" 😉
Thanks. I looked into SAP Teched website but could not find any link for registration and also searched in SAP Learning Hub. Please provide required URL for registration if I am missing anything.

Hello Denys,
Appreciate your efforts in writing out this blog. Its really helpful. Thanks for that.
However, I'm further interested to know more about SAP Certification options in this SAP Tech Ed. Could you bring more light on this ?
Cheers,
Amit Bharti
Hi Amit,
To my knowledge, as of yet SAP TechEd never included any certification specials during the event.
Denys thanks for the info.
“If you want to participate in the hands-on labs it is first-come, first serve with limited capacity with a two workshop limit per attendee.”
I understand these limitations when in person, but why these stringent limits for a virtual event?
Hi Ivan, Good question! Maybe my colleagues at the event can respond. Will ask.
How to avail TechEd 50% Certification offer ? Really excited going to attend first time and planning for certification also same here let's wait and enjoy
Hi Ravi Shankar Lakshminarayanan,

https://events.sapteched.com/pages/sap/sapteched2020/explore
Thanks for your time and effort! Just one more thing by using this option we can register for certification from Dec 1st only, Correct me if I am wrong.
The SAP Learning Hub, Event Edition for SAP TechEd opens December 1st until March 31st and you get two attempts at 50% I understand from the small print. More information will be available soon, no doubt, once the site is available.
Hi Denys,
This blog has been very very helpful in choosing the tracks and sessions for the TechEd days. I was looking for information on how to place request for "on demand" sessions - presumably people should be demanding those in some way. Could you please share the process if you come across the same.
Donka just posted this, sharing here in my query for fellow SAP-ers

Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
