9:15 AM - 9:45 AM | There are a number of complicated and critical issues contributing to the current global economic volatility.

9:45 AM - 10:15 AM | What is the CIO’s strategic agenda for the next 24 months? SAPinsider will discuss our latest research findings, followed by our panel of Technology Leaders sharing their own experiences around key priorities such as increasing efficiency, implementing an AI strategy, lowering IT costs, data visibility, integration, and more. We’ll dig into the complexities of these different, and often competing, priorities and how you can successfully navigate your priority list over the next year.

11:15 AM - 11:45 AM | SAP S/4HANA is more than a migration — it's a business reinvention lever. In this open, high-trust roundtable, SAPinsider will first explain our research on real adoption rates for SAP S/4HANA, RISE, and Cloud solutions, then senior IT leaders will share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what they would do differently if starting today. This is your chance to gain unfiltered insight into how CIOs are navigating complexity, accelerating value realization, and aligning SAP transformation with board-level goals. Speakers: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11:45 AM - 12:15 PM | Enterprise value from SAP doesn’t come from the software alone – it comes from the strength of the agreement and the relationship. In this discussion, CIOs share hard-won insights from negotiating and managing high-stakes SAP agreements that build in value, flexibility, and predictability. From indirect access and license optimization to renewal protections and long-term flexibility, you’ll walk away with peer tested strategies to lower costs, maximize ROI, and minimize risk in your next SAP agreement and turn SAP from a vendor into a strategic partner.
