The SAP BI 2016 Conference will be in Las Vegas from February 16-19 at the Wynn and it is considered a premier event for SAP BI professionals, consultants and customers.
The program includes over 200 hours of in-depth educational sessions, hands-on labs, ask the expert sessions, interactive discussion forums, networking events and live demos. The event will bring out some of the smartest and most well respected individuals and customers in the SAP business intelligence, analytics and reporting communities.
It’s an excellent value for the high quality education offered. In 4 days, you’ll have access to: educational sessions, workshops, how-to clinics, roundtables, keynote presentations directly from SAP about its future direction and the latest trends, private one-on-one consultations with partners and peers and networking with peers from other companies
I will be attending this year and look forward to attending several case study customer stories:

Program Content - There will be over 175 sessions that cover core areas such as BI implementations and upgrades, SAP HANA, SAP BusinessObjects, Self-service BI, business analytics, reporting and much more. There is truly something for everyone, and it is being held alongside of the HANA2016, Admin & Infrastructure 2016 and IoT2016– all sessions are open to attendees at BI 2016.
Additionally, I look forward to attending SAP Mentor ihilgefort sessions "Performance and design best practices for creating fast, easily consumable dashboards with SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio" and "Are you ready to migrate from SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards to SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio?"
Networking - One of the under rated parts of any SAP event and something I always find most useful is networking. The BI2016 event is a great opportunity to network with peers and meet new people. The who’s who of the SAP BI industry will be at this event looking to swap war stories and business cards, connect on LinkedIn and Twitter and share information as well as discuss the sessions from each day
Hopefully I have shared why you should attend the BI2016. If you are an SAP BusinessObjects user or provide technical support for SAP BusinessObjects BI this is one event that you won’t want to miss and don’t forget to register today.
