For 2024, SAP TechEd is virtual once again, with lots of great sessions grouped into six content tracks. If you prefer in-person learning, SAP TechEd on Tour consists of companion events around the world in collaboration with regional user groups (ASUG, SAUG, UKISUG, and DSAG). In this post, I’ll highlight the sessions on user experience and application development, since that’s my main focus as part of the SAP UX Engineering team.
In my many conversations with customers this year, the questions that I hear most are:
- What is the best / fastest / cheapest path to SAP Fiori?
- How do I move to SAP S/4HANA with all my existing customizations? I understand the concept of “clean core”, but how do I achieve it?
- To what extent can I customize my public cloud system?
- How much AI can I use with my current SAP setup?
- How are you making it easier to build applications?
Here are the SAP TechEd sessions that cover these topics. Since they are all presented live from our studio in the Heidelberg AppHaus, some might not be during regular business hours in your region. Please check the session catalog to see when they are running in your time zone. If it’s at an inconvenient time, you can watch the recording.
