Mastering SAP Connect returned to the Gold Coast in June 2026, held in conjunction with SAP Spend Connect, bringing together hundreds of SAP practitioners, industry partners, and community members for three days of collaboration, learning, and genuine peer connection. The event drew attendees from across Australia and beyond, spanning the Enterprise Asset Management, Supply Chain Management, and Procurement and Spend Management communities.
The event began on Wednesday evening with Birds of a Feather sessions, giving early arrivals the chance to connect through peer-led discussion before the formal programme commenced. Thursday’s opening keynote set the tone for the days ahead, bringing together perspectives from across the SAP ecosystem and including how the Queensland Department of Transport & Main Roads is navigating the next phase of SAP and AI adoption. Concurrent breakout streams then gave attendees the depth they needed across their disciplines. S/4HANA migration journeys, AI applications in SAP operations, asset management strategy, inventory planning, and digital maintenance all featured prominently. Workforce futurist Dr Ben Hamer delivered sessions that challenged attendees to think beyond technology and consider the human dimension of transformation.
Community and peer connection were at the heart of the event. The expo floor gave attendees the opportunity to explore partner solutions and see them in action in the Solution demos, and the “Happy Days” themed networking dinner brought the community together in a way that extended well beyond the scheduled content. The conversations that continued long after the sessions ended were a testament to the relationships this event exists to foster.
