SAP Announces World Tour 08, a Business Conference with No Registration Fee

SAP Croatia has announced World Tour 08, its business technology conference, which will take place on September 10 and 11 at the Hypo Alpe Adria Center in Zagreb.

Igor Dropulić, director of SAP Croatia, announced the Croatian version of SAP World Tour 08 at a press conference on Tuesday, a conference that takes place in 60 cities around the world,  including Zagreb on September 10 and 11.
– For the first time this year, we are organizing the conference as a two-day event. We envisioned the first day as a technology event and the second day as the business part of the conference. We will present news from SAP to the Croatian market, as well as new offerings and new products, while our partners will showcase their new products and services – said Dropulić, emphasizing that SAP aims to surpass previous conferences in both the number of participants and content.

– Last year we had about 800 registered visitors, and this year we want to exceed that number and become one of the strongest business gatherings in Zagreb. Most of our partners will also be present at the conference – concluded Dropulić, announcing Neven Lušić, sales director of b4b, the company that is the diamond sponsor of the conference. – We are the largest SAP partner in Croatia, and it is natural for us to actively support such events because b4b has one principal – SAP. By default, we must participate, which is why we are diamond sponsors, but we will also have three of our presentations, one from our company and two from companies that are our clients. At the conference, we will announce new directions we will cover, so we will focus more on auditing business systems based on SAP. We will soon reach 100 consultants, who have about 500 years of SAP experience – emphasized Lušić.

The conference was opened to all attendees by Neven Draženović, president of the HrUSKo association, the Croatian SAP Users Association, and after him, Marko Biljan, marketing director of SAP Croatia, explained the details of the conference itself. It will take place on September 10 and 11 at the Hypo Alpe Adria Center, and its grand opening will be held on September 10 at the Pirahna bar in Jarun, along with a live broadcast of the Croatia – England match. On the first day of the conference, at 2 PM, the part related to SAP’s technological solutions will begin, while September 11 is SAP Business Day, said Biljan, emphasizing that the conference will be rich in user case studies, and as part of the conference, there will also be an award ceremony for the best ICT journalists. One of the thematic lines at the conference will focus on local government and self-government, and under the name City of Future Delivered by SAP, the company will showcase its vision for managing the city of the future. Biljan stated that around 600 participants have already registered, and that SAP World Tour 08 is the only conference that does not have a registration fee for participation. (Igor Škevin)
