2. Old Saga
• SAP Inside Track grew out of the SDN Day which was a day before SAP
TechEd the premier SAP Technical conference that SAP runs every year
• SDN Day was called Community Day but after deciding that was a little bit
hard to sell to managers authorizing time off projects we chose the name
“Inside Track” and there is now a proliferation of events being organized by
real SAP grass roots people in cities all around the World
A day to remember, a place to learn, share
and network!
