Annual Conference
About Ireland
The SAP product portfolio is wide, varied and constantly evolving. Therefore, the Community agenda can draw from any aspect of SAP solutions which allows the Community to appeal to a broad audience, from IT / SAP focused analysts to line of business personnel seeking to maximise value from their use of SAP. The Ireland Community will provide an opportunity to have open discussions about challenges, projects and strategy – where our members can share ideas and experiences. Three meetings are held throughout the year and the Ireland Community Committee welcomes feedback and ideas for future meetings.
Excellent value for the day away from the office. All users present are very generous in passing on knowledge!
