The level of customer interest about SAP’s new user experience solutions at TechEd Las Vegas was amazing. We are planning to deliver even more great content on SAP Screen Personas, Fiori, NWBC, the UX strategy, and SAP’s Design Services in TechEd Berlin.

My colleagues and I are looking forward to meeting you at either the sessions listed below, the Fiori café, or the usability testing lab. If you have topics you want to discuss, please send a meeting request in advance, ideally through your account executive.

You can register for these sessions through the session catalog.
