     Live streaming video is all the rage today. People expect - and often prefer - to experience events live online. Think WhiteHouse.Gov/Live, where citizens participate in events, large and small, at the White House AS they happen. Instant access. Instant answers.

     SAP is embracing live streaming video content in a big way for #SAPPHIRENOW 2016.  We’ve teamed up with Facebook to leverage Facebook Live, the new  “video killer app for the enterprise” according to diginomica.com. There’s lots of live coverage from SAPPHIRE NOW this year, but this year’s twist is that Facebook now enables live streaming right from our Facebook pages. We’ll use it to bring you an “inside baseball” view of what’s happening on the show floor, from the people driving the sessions. We’ve got a strong lineup of topics like Cloud ERP, predictive analytics, digital transformation, small business solutions SAP BYD, SAP Anywhere, virtual reality, internet of things and augmented reality. Participants are customers, partners, influencers, start-ups, students and SAP people, sharing their point of view and responding to your questions within our Facebook pages’ comments section. The chats are short – only 10 to 30 minutes long.

     Here’s my top ten picks of live streaming video programming that will be available in our Chat Live series during SAPPHIRE NOW (there are over 60 in total). Note: How does it work? “Like” the Facebook page hosting the chat, indicated by the links below and you’ll be notified when the chat begins, or just go to the page at the time given.
