The SAP ecosystem is changing quickly. New terminology, shifting roadmaps, rising security risks and growing complexity are reshaping how organisations plan and deliver.
INSPIRE 2026 cuts through the noise. This half-day event gives SAP leaders a clear, unfiltered look at what’s changing, what it means for your organisation, and how to prepare for 2026 and beyond.
Who should attend INSPIRE Melbourne 2026?
Our INSPIRE Melbourne event is designed as an intimate, workshop-style session for leaders responsible for data, HR, Payroll, and both operational and transformation outcomes across SAP-centred environments. Attendance is limited to 20 participants to enable deeper discussion and peer exchange.
Registrations will close once capacity is reached, with a waitlist available should places open up.
This event is ideal for SAP leaders, Architects, Basis teams, IT executives, Transformation leads, HCM and Payroll owners, and anyone responsible for keeping SAP and connected enterprise systems stable, secure, and ready for the future.
What will you learn?
During INSPIRE 2026, you’ll gain clarity on:
- Where risk is emerging across data, testing, security, and integrations – and why it’s shifting beyond go-live
- How organisations are enabling AI and automation in SAP without increasing risk
- How cross-system data comparison is helping teams detect issues before they impact payroll, compliance, or reporting
- How to build a realistic SAP roadmap that balances stability today with readiness for what’s next
