Technology is moving quickly, but the decisions facing organisations remain grounded in business reality. Leaders need to know where to focus, how to bring teams with them and how to turn investment into outcomes that matter. The INDUS Annual Conference 2026 will bring the community together around those questions.
The full programme will be announced by INDUS in due course. Until then, four broad conversations are already clear. They are not separate issues. They influence each other. A strong AI plan depends on data, governance and people. Better operations depend on choices across processes and platforms. Sustainable transformation depends on the ability to measure value and adapt as circumstances change.
These are the subjects that make a community conference valuable. They invite perspectives from leaders, practitioners and experts, while leaving room for attendees to test their own thinking against what others are seeing in the market and inside their organisations.
Key takeaways for SAP customers
AI and business value
Interest in AI is no longer the difficult part. The more useful discussion is about priority use cases, readiness, adoption and value. What should an organisation address first? How can teams move from promising ideas to a disciplined path that supports real business objectives?
Data, trust and governance
As organisations use more data and intelligent technologies, trust becomes a business issue as well as a technology issue. Leaders are considering quality, access, accountability, privacy and governance alongside the need to help teams work faster and make better decisions.
The future of enterprise operations
Finance, supply chains, customer engagement, people and core operations are all changing. The question is not simply which technology is available. It is how organisations can redesign work, connect processes and build capabilities that help them respond to a changing market.
Transformation that delivers results
Every transformation programme must eventually be measured by the difference it makes. The conversation is about defining value early, building alignment across business and technology teams, managing change and learning from what works as well as what needs adjustment.
The INDUS Annual Conference 2026 will be a place to explore these questions with peers and experts from across the SAP community. Watch for forthcoming announcements on the programme and ways to participate.
