SAP Sapphire (& ASUG Annual Conference)
vendor (SAP) · flagship conference
Orlando (US) & Madrid (ES) · annual, May · 2026: 11–13 May (Orlando) / 19–21 May (Madrid) · vendor
SAP's flagship conference for customers and partners around cloud ERP (S/4HANA), Business AI and the SAP roadmap. The Americas edition is held together with the ASUG Annual Conference (Americas' SAP Users' Group, independent of SAP), plus a Europe edition in Madrid.
