SAP HR2007 in Vegas – Update

Posted by on Mar 20, 2007 in HCM, SAP | 0 comments

I had a very productive time in Vegas attending the SAP HR, FI and GRC conference from March 11-13. I met a number of business associates and former colleagues. This is a great conference to learn more about the SAP product set, as well as to network with business partners and customers. The Venetian Hotel is a stunning venue and a very impressive hotel. It’s also a very big venue — I got a lot of exercise walking back and forth between the exhibit hall and the coffee shops.My good friend, Ken Kiefer, at Wispubs shared the following information about the conference:

  • About 4800 people attended the conference, and 1700 HR attendees,
  • with 96 unique vendors,
  • 301 total presentations and
  • attendees from 53 countries including: Denmark, China, Israel, South Africa and Mexico.

This is a great example of a very focused and well-executed conference. If you attended, please let me have your comments.Interesting story: March 13 @ 2:30am the Stardust Hotel was imploded and they did it in Vegas style. See it all on youtube:
