Your first look at the content that matters
Our team is hard at work shaping a 2026 agenda designed to inspire, challenge and empower you. Expect deep industry content, hands-on interactive sessions, future-focused keynotes and sessions that tackle your biggest transformation priorities — from AI to supply chain to sustainability.
-
Track 1: Business transformation for growth & resilience
This track focuses on driving real business outcomes through ERP-led transformation, smarter finance processes, customer innovation and stronger compliance. Expect practical guidance on the strategies and operating models that enable sustainable, profitable growth.
Topics include transformation journeys, CX and product innovation (including PLM), sustainability and regulatory readiness (DPP, EHS, CSRD), and how procurement, business networks and transportation can enhance resilience and profitability.

Track 2: Operations, supply chain & smart manufacturing
Dive into the operational engine of your business — planning, manufacturing, asset management and supply chain execution — and how organisations are building more resilient, efficient and data-driven operations to drive performance and operational excellence.
Sessions will cover supply chain planning and execution (IBP, scheduling, logistics), manufacturing optimisation (MES, quality, workforce), predictive and reliability-led asset management, and the role procurement and transportation play in improving day-to-day efficiency.

Track 3: The co-create space (interactive formats)
The co-create space is where attendees roll up their sleeves, share experiences, and work directly with peers, SAP experts and partners to turn ideas into practical next steps.
Designed for high engagement and real problem-solving, this space gives participants the opportunity to challenge assumptions, compare approaches, and co-design solutions that address the biggest opportunities facing manufacturing, materials and mining today.
Industry matters — Your community is at the heart of the event
Our topic-based agenda for 2026 is designed to reflect the transformation themes shaping all industrial sectors — while still keeping your industry community front and centre. Throughout the programme, you’ll find tailored examples, sector-specific insights and opportunities to connect with peers from building materials, chemicals, metals, mining, paper and packaging.
Dedicated roundtables and networking moments create space for deeper industry-level discussion, ensuring you get the practical, relevant perspectives that matter most to your organisation. It’s the best of both worlds: topic-led learning enriched with a strong industry connection.
