The morning of SAP Inside Track, Gurugram

As one of the core team members of the much-anticipated SAP Inside Track, Gurugram 2024 event, I woke up to the sound of rainfall still pattering against my balcony. The city was already drenched with heavy rainfall the previous day, and the forecast wasn’t looking any better for today either. My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Would the weather dampen the spirits of our attendees? Would all our meticulous planning go in vain? Despite these worries, I knew the SIT event would be a success. As I arrived at the venue, I met the volunteers along with my fellow core team members Vipul Khullar, Vartika Gupta, Anuradha Dhingan, Meghna Patel and Neeraj Manocha. The energy among us was palpable, and as the first guests started to trickle in, we felt a surge of optimism. And there we knew it was going to be a day to remember!

We are thrilled to announce that the speaker registration is now open for SAP Inside Track Gurugram 2024 – Business AI Edition, taking place on September 14th, 2024.

This year, the event will focus on the transformative power of SAP Business AI, and we are seeking enthusiastic speakers to present their knowledge and perspectives on a range of AI topics.

If you have experience in building AI applications, creating innovative business AI solutions, or working with embedded AI in SAP products, we invite you to contribute to our event.

After our experience from the few SAP Stammtisch events in the yester year, we started the Gurgaon community event calendar with SAP Inside Track – 2023 on Mar 24, 2023. The day was indeed very special for SAP Community members from Delhi/NCR, as the full day event was packed with many demo sessions, two hands on sessions and lots of learning & networking.

Kick-off

The event was started with welcome note from Aseem Khera, Gurugram Location Head. He highlighted the importance of SAP community and how we can leverage the synergies through such community events.

This was followed by an inspiring video keynote from our SVP & MD, SAP Labs India Head, Sindhu Gangadharan. She emphasized on learning & networking through such community events and encouraged everyone to take part in future community events too.

This was proceeded further by a partner keynote session conducted by Managing Director, Parvathy Sankar of Mindset Consulting, and her team members - Abhilash Gampa, Juhi Kulshreshtha, Vighnesh Kamant & Ankita Luniya.

Thereafter, the following sessions made the event more interesting:

• Information on SAP Community and how one can leverage the same
• Sixteen sessions ran on two different tracks which were supported by nineteen speakers.
• A fire side chat with SAP Champions Chandra Bhushan (SAP Labs India) and Ruthvik Chowdary(Deloitte).
• Hands on sessions on SAP Process Automation, SAP CAP & SAP Build
• Demo jam session on SAP RAP.

A sincere thanks to all the speakers who supported this event by presenting interesting SAP topics within a short notice of two weeks.
