Analytics New Year's Apéro, February 13th, 2025

Kickstart for the new data year!

This year, the Analytics New Year's Apéro 2025 is taking off like a rocket and is dedicated entirely to the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) – with a clear focus on the latest developments in data-driven planning and AI in collaboration with SAP!

Together with IT managers from leading companies and Barnaby Skinner from NZZ, Deputy Editor-in-Chief for Technology and Development, we will shed light on the concrete application of data-driven approaches.

Practical insights and inspiring presentations provide an outlook on the opportunities and challenges of data-driven work. The Clouds Bar in Zurich, one of the highest locations in the city, forms the atmospheric setting for this start to the year.

Cheers to an exciting year of data
