ASUG 2009 Annual Conference - Call for Speakers

[Keohan, Susan]

Good news!
ASUG has changed its policy regarding comped speakers.  The Primary and Secondary speakers will be comped if they are identified at the time you create your session abstract, and at least one of the speakers is an SAP customer.

So I know there are a lot of you out there who have been on the fence about having to be an ASUG presenter all alone; this means that you will have the ability to co-present with your valued colleague or business partner.

The Call For Speakers closes on December 1... Seriously, couldn't you use a few days in Sunny Orlando??

Kind regards,
Sue

Subject: ASUG 2009 Annual Conference - Call for Speakers

The 2009 ASUG Annual Conference will be held May 11 - 14, in Orlando, Florida.

The Workflow and BPM Special Interest Group is always seeking fresh ideas for educational sessions (no marketing, please!) for this event.

You do not need to be an ASUG member in order to speak at an ASUG Conference.  As an ASUG Speaker, you will receive a complimentary conference registration.  There is a limit to the number of comp'ed speakers per session though.

Some potential WF/BPM topics might include:

1)      Real-world case studies including upgrades

2)      Workflow Administration

3)      Event management

4)      Business Rules Management

5)      Agent Determination

The 2009 ASUG Annual Conference, co-located with SAP SAPPHIRE(r) is the SAP ecosystem event of the year, providing unparalleled access to customer-driven education, influence activities, and real-world SAP success stories<http://www.sapandasug.com/ASUG/AnnualConference2009/index.cfm?fuseaction=email.Redirect&EID=27DF65777501>.

In 2008, 15,000 people attended ASUG Annual Conference and SAPPHIRE in Orlando. These events are successful because they offer the latest business strategies along with practical, hands-on education for SAP users across the continent. Now is the time for you to start planning your participation in this incredible event.

Presenting at the ASUG Annual Conference not only helps other members connect the dots, but it can also bring visibility to your company, demonstrate your thought leadership, and earn you valuable SAP Customer Appreciation Program (CAP) credits.* Primary speakers also receive complimentary registration to the event.

ASUG is actively seeking abstracts that highlight:

 *   Customer stories of real-world SAP experiences
 *   Leading practices your company has developed
 *   Strategies for leveraging existing SAP solutions to increase ROI
 *   Upgrade experiences
 *   Successful reporting and information delivery options
 *   Effective integrations with various aspects of the SAP landscape
 *   Business results or efficiencies gained as a result of your company's participation on an ASUG Influence Council
 *   Lessons learned from ASUG Benchmarking studies

Conference Program Committee members review abstracts as they are submitted. The submission deadline is Monday, December 1, 2008. This deadline is approaching quickly, so be sure to submit today<http://www.sapandasug.com/ASUG/AnnualConference2009/index.cfm?fuseaction=email.Redirect&EID=B41E65777504>.
