Our vibrant community comes together at over 250 exciting events every year, spanning the entire SAP ecosystem!

Whether you're popping in for a quick 40-minute coffee chat or diving deep into a 3-day conference, you'll find something that fits your schedule and interests—no matter how packed your calendar may be!

During their session, Onapsis will explore the critical role of security and compliance in ensuring a successful SAP transformation in 2025, whether transitioning to S/4HANA via SAP RISE, on-premise, or in the cloud. Join Jonathan Cooper as he shares actionable insights and lessons learned to help organisations achieve a secure, compliant and streamlined go-live.
