In May 2011, SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 was made generally available after a successful ramp-up earlier this year. SAP TechEd 2011 is a good time to learn about ramp-up experience, new and enhanced features, and our plans going forward – to shape your plans and gain firsthand experience. We have compiled a comprehensive program covering SAP’s integration technology with 12 hours of hands-on sessions and more than 10 hours of lectures (all being offered at least twice in Las Vegas). You can find the full agenda and schedule on the SAP TechEd websites for Las Vegas, Madrid, and Bangalore.
It’s hard to pick the best sessions as this depends on your role and experience with SAP NetWeaver PI (unless you decide to simply attend all). Still, here’s a list of the top 5 things to learn at SAP TechEd 2011 with respective sessions:
