Here it is, you don’t want to miss out on this brand new event taking place this year!
Innovation Weekend (Sneak Preview)
For many weeks now, folks have been eagerly questioning Craig Cmehil, Jason Cao, and myself about what the RIA Hacker Nite, Insight Night and the Process Design Slam will look like this year at SAP TechEd ’10 .
I must admit that my colleagues have delighted me by helping me realize a dream I had last year of inviting developers, business intelligence specialists and process design experts to pool their talents and harmonize their skills. This year, rather than have separate evening events for SDN, BPX and BOC we’ve decided to help pool talents and community in an event that will move (during the course of a 30+ hour event) a business case from idea to prototype and will expose our communities to a plethora of new technologies from inside SAP as well as from partners.
Beginning in Berlin and Las Vegas this year we will host and invite a select group of community members and TechEd attendees to a two (2) day event of innovation, collaboration, designing, hacking, and implementation.
This event will take place on the Sunday and Monday prior to the Tuesday openings of SAP TechEd ’10 in Berlin and Las Vegas and will engage developers and process experts as well as BI business users in social innovation through an open platform.
Where: Berlin and Las Vegas
When: SAP TechEd 2010 Berlin, Oct. 10 -11 | Las Vegas,Oct. 16 -17 Sunday and Monday both locations (30+ hour Marathon)Who: SAP TechEd attendees/invited community members/developers/process experts/BI business users

Hi Craig,
the idea sounds really great and exciting. I’m really looking forward to experiencing hat über-event at TechEd. If such brilliant minds as Marilyn, Jason and yourself organize this it just have to be great…
Sounds like a great event, but most likely will not be able to make it the weekend before TechEd Las Vegas (need some family time in between all the events that month). Your post states the event is the Sunday and Monday before TechEd, but in Las Vegas TechEd already starts Monday and the 16th/17th is Saturday/Sunday. So is the event in Vegas on Saturday and Sunday before TechEd.
Cheers,
Matthias
Hey Matthias, for Vegas and Berlin it’s Sunday/Monday and TechEd starts after we are done.
