SAP Inside Track Düsseldorf 2020 postponed!
Dear sitDUS friends, The current situation regarding COVID-19 in Germany (especially North Rhine-Westphalia as area with case numbers) is affecting our planning for sitDUS 2020. We will not completely cancel it! We are planning a new event date for later this year. Stay tuned - we will inform you asap about details. |
|---|
We invite you to our first Tech. SAP Inside Track in Düsseldorf.
This event is planned as a technical topic driven event (call it tech-sit).
Idea behind
There are more developers active in the community than technical geeks. This results often in topics which were more based on use cases how technologies can be used and not how you implement, operate and scale them. We want to give this guys also a platform for their topics. For sure this event is open minded and also developers are welcome to give them insights on the platforms which they are consuming 
But the main focus will be on topics like architecture, HANA deep dives, Cloud and other challenging technologies.
When
Saturday, April 25th 2020
Registration opens at 09:00
Sessions start at about 10:30 and ends at approx. 18:00/19:00
Saturday we will have some drinks at the event location and if you like to join we will also go for dinner afterwards.
This is a great opportunity to spend the weekend in this wonderful city. Like at other SAP Inside Track events, you will be able to connect with your peers, learn from each other, share experiences and be inspired by great open minded discussions.

Tips
Any tips to take into account?
- Dress casual, it's a community event - not a business event and it is Saturday.
- If you register yourself, please show up at the event. Otherwise we will really miss you - and someone who was just on the waiting list will be very sad.
If anything crosses your plans.. please cancel your registration!
It helps us to fill up the list with people from the waiting list.
We were happy to have a nearly 100% percent show-up rate at the last events and many happy faces. Let's repeat that! - More tips from your side as a participant? Please list them, contact us and help making it a day to remember!
