Joyce also reviewed the above grid, which contains links to sessions, and contains a variety of content, color-coded to help you find the right content.
We have content grouped generally as HANA (red), Big Data (blue), BW (green), and BI (pink).
We will be in rooms S for South Concourse closest to the Hilton – S310 A – D, with exception of the BW/4HANA Roadmap session and the World Premiere of SAP BusinessObjects Lumira session, which will be in S210CD.
Session catalog for ASUG BI is here.

"A number of us will be there – please stop us to say hi - we love to share regarding our BI Community. We have a variety of backgrounds, companies, and processes. One of our common characteristics is a passion for BI and how to use SAP BI to bring a differential benefit/advantage to our companies.

Question
Q: Last year I couldn't get in to roadmap sessions - how do I get in this year?
A: working to make sure to have adequate space - BW/4HANA roadmap will be in S210CD
Tips from Ina and Joyce
- Wear comfortable shoes; you will be walking
- So many things to talk about; look at supply chain, transportation
- Last year, you could register at the airport while you wait for your bags
- Download the mobile app for last minute room changes, evaluate your sessions
- Joyce said to layer; it can be chilly in the rooms; one attendee said to "prepare for arctic rooms"; Joyce agrees.
- Ina said to use a rolling bag; water bottles on the show floor
- Food - you can go to the show floor; usually on the 3rd floor will have meals too
See you there in 10 days.
