In 2012, SAP’s essential business technology and training events — SAPPHIRE NOW and SAP TechEd — return to help companies run better and transform their business.

SAP will host two SAPPHIRE NOW events in 2012. Registration is now open for SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference, to be held May 14-16 in Orlando, Florida. During the week of November 12, SAPPHIRE NOW + SAP TechEd will take place in Madrid, offering unique opportunities to learn from visionary business insights and customer-driven sessions and receive premium, hands-on technical training in one location.

SAP TechEd will be held in four locations in 2012, including conferences in Las Vegas (October 15-19), Madrid, Bangalore (November 28-30) and China (date TBD). The latest conference updates and early bird registration announcements are available via the SAP TechEd 2012 mailing list.

SAPPHIRE NOW provides attendees the opportunity to learn and network with customers, SAP executives, partners and experts across the entire SAP ecosystem, while SAP TechEd offers in-depth technical training and community support to allow attendees to develop practical skills that can add value to IT investments. For more information and upcoming details on both conferences, visit www.sapphirenow.com and www.sapteched.com.
