Annual Conference / SAPPHIRE plans, SBOUC Call for Papers Soon

Categories: Conferences Dave Rathbun @ 11:17 pm

I was not sure if I was going to be able to make it to SAPPHIRE this May, but it appears that I will be going. At least that’s the current plan.

For those of you waiting anxiously for details about the SAP BusinessObjects User Conference (aka SBOUC) I can tell you that things are moving forward behind the scenes, and that the call for papers dates should be announced soon. It looks like we’ll have about six weeks to get our abstracts ready. If you want to have some input on some of the possible categories, feel free to post suggestions in the comments. The process of getting those categories selected is going on right now. Some of you may even have received a survey from ASUG looking for your input. Even if you didn’t get the survey, you can pass your ideas on to me. I’ll do my best to get them to the right people.

    Hello Dave,

    I just found out that I will be able to attend SAPPHIRE in a few weeks.
    I have seen/read/enjoyed some of your earlier conference presentations on the internet.

    Are you by any chance giving any sessions at the SAPPHIRE event in Orlando?
    It would be great to know if you will be giving any talks as I am currently picking sessions to attend.

    Regards
    Malin

    Hi, Malin, I am glad you have found my previous presentations helpful. I won’t be presenting at SAPPHIRE next week, but I do hope to be presenting at the SAP BusinessObjects conference in the fall, and perhaps at TechEd as well.

    Dave,
    Glad to see you are still out there. I take it that David Byrd and the boys are no longer at ITS? I would like your advice on who to use as a consultant for helping us to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

    Thanks,

    Andy

    Hi, Andy, I will get you in touch with David and Alan. They’re starting a new adventure called “Solid Ground Technologies” and might be able to help you out.
