In a few short days, SAP for Utilties, presented by ASUG, will begin.

So why attend?

Here are some reasons:

1. Learn about SAP's vision for the future

SAP has a keynote "Keynote-The Future of Energy: Innovations in Utilities, Generation, and Storage"

2. Hear from fellow utility customers

I have a big list of customers presenting below.

3. Participate in lunch table topics

On Tuesday, we're having a "Lunch and Learn Topic Table on SAP S/4HANA: Implementation"

Join this discussion if you are mid-project or have already gone live with SAP S/4HANA. You will learn from peers who are already on the journey and have made mission-critical decisions. You’ll gain knowledge on lessons learned to ensure success in your future endeavors

4. Explore solutions for utilities

Visit partners and SAP booths to share and exchange ideas

5. Network with your peers

October 9th starts with a "Beers with Peers" session.
