[AISWorld] SAP Academic Conference 2016 EMEA - Potsdam, Sep 5-9: Call for Participation

[Key Pousttchi]

Dear Colleagues,

The SAP University Alliances Academic Conference 2016 EMEA will take place
on September 5-9 at the University of Potsdam and the Hasso Plattner
Institute.

SAP Academic Conference EMEA annually brings together academics from over
150 universities from Europe, Middle East and Africa. The event shares SAP's
strategic direction and showcases opportunities to leverage SAP solutions
and SAP University Alliances offerings to enhance students' academic and
career outcomes.

Speakers will be leading academics including Larry Leifer from Standford
University and Lisa Seymour from Cape Town University as well as SAP board
members and executives.

This year we are going to provide a number of optional offerings in the
Berlin/Potsdam area which range from optional pre- and post- events, to the
main conference, an evening event, expert sessions, labs, train-the-trainer
workshops, and optional tours of the SAP Innovation Center Network Potsdam
and SAP Berlin, which capture the SAP University Alliance innovation network
in the Berlin/Potsdam area.
 
Attending Faculty will:
 
Learn about the future of EdTech and hear how SAP is enabling the digital
transformation of industries with SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP S/4HANA, SAP
Digital Boardroom, and coming soon with next-gen apps developed on SAP HANA
Cloud Platform and AppleR iOS; and how they can bring SAP's latest solutions
into their classrooms with new SAP University Alliances curriculum, and
leverage SAP HANA for big data research.  SAP's technology leadership will
be illustrated through an evening event at Filmpark Metropolis where the
focus will be "Disruptions in the Media Industry" including examples of how
SAP customers are re-imaging business models in the media industry
leveraging SAP solutions.
 
Learn how SAP University Alliances is innovating with new programs such as
SAP Next-Gen Labs, which will enable SAP customers around the world to seed
innovation into their organizations by connecting with university students
and faculty, startups, SAP innovation experts, and SAP partners; and SAP
Next-Gen Innovation Tours which are learning journeys where academia and
SAP's customers explore and join the SAP University Alliances innovation
network in Silicon Valley, and next year in New York, Berlin and other
global SAP locations.
 
Make new connections to global academic networks including the Leadership
Garage, SUGAR Network with intellectual roots at Stanford University, where
universities can join a community focused on the teaching and practice of
design innovation.
