User Experience (UX) sessions at SAP TechEd 2021

Once again, SAP TechEd is virtual in 2021 (November 16-18). This means more people can attend without incurring the time and expense associated with traveling to a physical event. As always, we will have sessions that discuss our innovations in user experience (UX) solutions. The schedule includes lectures, hands-on workshops, and a new, engaging format called Channel 1. UX sessions for 2021 will focus on SAP Fiori elements, SAP Fiori tools, implementing SAP Fiori in SAP S/4HANA, accessibility, mobile development, SAP Business Technology Platform, and AI.

Check back on this post as we get closer to SAP TechEd, as I will update the items below with links to their respective entries in the session catalog when that information becomes available.
