First impressions are critical, and this year the simplified and open layout of the show floor set the stage. Overwhelming complexity was a thing of the past. Everything was easily found; the open layout, the broadcast of keynote sessions across all theaters and easy navigation across the show floor enabled a simplified consumption of the huge amount of information that was offered again at SAPPIRE 2014.
Sit down, relax and have a cappuccino - very unusual for “mega-events” with thousands of participants - and downtown provided the space where customers, partners and SAP employees took a break, while still being in the middle of things.
With the event "out-of-the-way", business took center stage. Over 15 High Tech customers presented in various settings, sharing their experience with peers in the industry. 200+ participants at the Discrete Evening reception, many more High Tech presentations, demos, micro forums and industry expert support for customer meetings provided plenty of opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing.
And here are a few of the high tech sessions that are available for replay:
