Durban | Monday 24 August 2026

Keeping up with SAP’s evolving roadmap, POPIA requirements, and increasing complexity is challenging, but our exclusive half-day INSPIRE events are designed to cut through this noise!
We’re giving business leaders a clear view of what’s changing, how to prepare for 2027 and beyond, and a first look at the latest innovations from SAP and EPI-USE Labs.
Most exciting of all, attendees will be granted an exclusive preview of a top-secret AI launch we've been working on behind closed doors... but you'll have to be there to see it unveiled!
Join us in Gqeberha, Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Durban to connect with peers, share insights, and enjoy our exclusive launch.
Kindly note that attendance is complimentary for registered attendees.
