I initially thought of naming this blog “One GRC Conference to Rule Them All”… but this was deemed too dramatic by my reviewer.
For those who are not Tolkien fans and missed it, it was in reference to
One Ring from The Lord of the Rings.
“One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.”
Why may you ask? Well, first of all because there is no need for a grand reason to quote Tolkien!
But there actually is a grand reason to it: in 2024, TAC Insights and SAP are bringing together both the
SAP for Internal Controls, Compliance and Risk Management and
SAP for Cyber Security and Data Protection events under one roof and into one single event!
Focused on the theme
RISE with SAP GRC, this combined conference will take place on March 6
th and 7
th 2024 in Brussels, Belgium.
This event brings together a rich and diverse ecosystem of SAP users, partners and solution experts to address SAP's GRC and cyber security portfolio in a practical and business-centric context. It's the original and only event designed to address these business critical topics in the unique context of SAP.
So, if you are responsible for the risk and compliance of business processes, for (cyber)security of SAP-based processes, … in short, if you are an SAP user looking to learn and do more with your existing solutions, or if you are new to the world of SAP GRC but want to learn how others are staying one step ahead, then join us in Brussels and see how you can rise with SAP GRC!
The first version of the agenda has just been released and here’s what you can expect from this conference:
