INSPIRE Sydney
Wednesday 3 September 2025
Transformation is messy — and no two SAP journeys look the same. Whether you're managing a move to S/4, modernising payroll, or simplifying a complex landscape, INSPIRE Sydney is a chance to step out of the day-to-day and hear how others are navigating it all.
We’ve created space for practical conversations — not just presentations — so you can ask questions, swap stories, and learn from others who’ve been through it before (and are still in the thick of it).
You'll walk away with:
-
Practical strategies for managing SAP change with less disruption
-
Lessons learned from real S/4, HCM, and payroll initiatives
-
Ideas for simplifying your SAP environment and delivery approach
-
A clearer view of the risks, trade-offs, and decision points ahead
-
New connections with people facing the same challenges
