It has been three years since we conducted our very SAP CodeJam in 2012 and I must say we have sure have come a long way since then. Since its initial launch in 2012, we have worked with over 10,000 developers on several different technologies, have been in almost 150 cities and conducted over 300-plus events. With the year coming to an end, I thought it would be the perfect time to give a review of where we are today and what’s new to come in 2016.

What is SAP CodeJam you may ask?
Well, SAP CodeJam is a 5 to 6 hours event where a small group of developers get together for an afternoon of networking, learning, and coding in an ultra-casual environment all for free. Attendees get a chance to share and expand their knowledge and collaboratively develop with SAP technologies, platforms and tools under the watchful guidance of an expert. The events are developer community focused and supported by SAP, exploring technologies available through the SAP Developer Center.
How to request an event?
Requesting a SAP CodeJam event is very simple and easy. All you need to do is send us an email at sapcodejam@sap.com, with the following information: email of the local contact person for the event, country and city in which the event will take place, estimated number of attendees (25-40), event location, three possible dates, and a topic for the event.

Introducing SAP CodeJam Exclusive Editions:
In addition to offering new topics, we also added a new SAP CodeJam format. Late last year, we introduced a new SAP CodeJam format – SAP CodeJam Exclusive Edition, and we hope to grow and expand the format in 2016.
SAP CodeJam Exclusive Edition offers individual organizations a chance to let their own development teams come together with SAP experts for a 2 day combination event. These combination events allow SAP experts to show up to 50 developers from a specific organizations new technologies from SAP and how those technologies may work together with their existing systems. The event format is specifically only for the requesting organizations and their employees. SAP will send our experts to your location at our expense, however additional costs and logistics are the responsibility of the requesting organization.
What topics do we offer for the SAP CodeJam Exclusive Edition format?
Choices for the topic series at this time are somewhat limited and future topics could be added.
- Series: SAP HANA Cloud Platform & SAP IoT Services
- Series: SAP HANA XS & SAP HANA XS with UI5
- Series: SAP UI5 with SAP WebIDE & SAP Gateway
