You have heard that “every experience matters.” Our combined event offers you three days of experiences that matter – advancing
your relationship with SAP, our partner ecosystem, ASUG, and your colleagues and peers who share the same challenges every day.
Together, SAP and ASUG offer you more than 1,700 opportunities to explore the most important and relevant topics for your needs.
And as you explore, remember that all sessions and all three floors of the convention center are open to you as a registered

meets your goals.
As IT professionals – whether working for SAP or a partner or as a member of an organization in the public sector or in private industry
– we are all dedicated to driving growth and innovation. Our united goal is to enable our employees and members – and our companies and organizations – to unleash their full potential. To do more with less and make it simpler, whatever our industry or line of business. We must welcome the promises of Big Data, the cloud, and enterprise mobility while safeguarding all we have built over these
years. Our collective experience drives real advantage and real results for our businesses. This week, we invite you to discover, interact, and be inspired as you learn how SAP and the user community can help you and your organization reduce complexity, run better

executive officer of Safety Reliability Methods Inc., a company dedicated
to management, safety, performance, and reliability consulting.
Born and raised in Denison, Texas, Sullenberger pursued his childhood
love of aviation at the United States Air Force Academy. In his graduation
year at the academy, he received the Outstanding Cadet in Airmanship
Award. In addition to his bachelor’s degree in psychology, he also has two
master’s degrees, one in industrial psychology from Purdue University
and one in public administration from the University of Northern Colorado. He also has an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Purdue University.
Upon graduation from the Academy, Sullenberger served as a fighter

become a flight leader and a training officer, attaining the rank of captain.
During his active duty, he was stationed in North America and Europe.
Prior to gaining worldwide attention, Sullenberger was an active and
ardent safety advocate throughout his four-decade-long career. He was

during a National Transportation Safety Board investigation. Additionally,

Resource Management course used by US Airways, and he has taught
the course to hundreds of other airline crew members.
After logging more than 20,000 hours of flight time, Sullenberger became
internationally renowned on January 15, 2009, when he and his crew
safely guided US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency water landing
in New York City’s frigid Hudson River. The Airbus A320’s two engines
had lost thrust following a bird strike. Sullenberger and his crew received
international acclaim for their actions that day, including the passage of
a Congressional resolution recognizing their bravery. Sullenberger was
ranked second in TIME’s “Top 100 Most Influential Heroes and Icons of

It’s been said that Miller is “One of the premiere comedy talents in

nothing low-key about his career.

Over the years, Miller has become both a public and critical favorite.
“The Hollywood Reporter” called his most recent special “an hour
of topical, scathing brilliance that helps cement Miller’s status as the
Lenny Bruce of the new millennium…the most cerebral, astute, and
clever stand-up ever to put mouth to microphone.”

As one of the longest running cast members on NBC’s Saturday Night
Live (1986–1995), Nealon created some of the show’s most memorable
characters, including The Subliminal Man and Hans and Franz.
Nealon’s reoccurring role as an anchor on “Weekend Update” made

Welcome to ASUG Annual Conference
Being an ASUG member is more important now than ever.
As IT professionals, we must drive growth and control costs.
We must enable our user base to do more and make it all less
complicated. We must open up our systems of record to the
promises of Big Data, the cloud, and enterprise mobility, while
safeguarding all we have built over these years.
During these three days at our annual conference, you’ll experience a microcosm of what it means to be an ASUG member all
throughout the year.
We know what really happens during implementations because
we’ve been there. In more than 420 hours of educational sessions this week (another 100 hours of preconference sessions
before the show even kicks off), our members will share crucial
lessons and valuable advice.
We know what’s coming because we’re connected. Our members will spend hours this week meeting with those at SAP directly responsible for product development – to discuss their
needs and influence road maps and strategy.
www.asug.com
We know our ASUG connections will make us ready for what’s
next because they already do now – on our projects, for our
businesses, and, ultimately, for our own careers.
Every experience matters. Keep that in mind, because everything you do and everyone you meet during this week could
make the difference on your project, for your business, and for
your own career. And you could be the difference on their
project, for their business, and for their career.
It’s a philosophy ASUG members live every day: Our collective
experience drives real advantage and real results for our businesses. Our collective voice influences SAP product development and software strategies.
So walk up to that session speaker after his presentation. Talk
to one more person at lunch. Linger in the ASUG Hub for a few
moments longer to learn new ways to connect with your community, and earn some great swag in the process.
We trust you’ll walk away from this week equipped and inspired
to keep your business in motion. And if you’re not already an
ASUG member, we trust you’ll want to join us as well.

Conference Badge
conference badge is necessary to gain access to all activities,
A
including conference-sponsored activities outside the Orange
County Convention Center. Be sure to keep your badge visible at
all times. Be careful not to lose your badge. The cost to replace
a badge is the full conference fee you paid for your registration.

Scanning
Be advised that the bar code on your badge contains data
submitted during the registration process (name, title, company,
address, phone, fax, and e-mail address). Most exhibitors at the
conference have badge-scanning devices as part of their displays and promotional activities. It is at your discretion that you
agree to provide your badge to any exhibitor for scanning, which
allows the exhibitor to collect your information and use it for
future marketing purposes. You agree that SAP and ASUG
have no control, responsibility, or liability associated with any
exhibitor’s collection or use of your information, and if you do
not agree to such collection and use, then do not provide or
allow your badge to be scanned.

Wireless Internet Access
Complimentary wireless Internet access is available for
conference attendees. However, we encourage attendees with
3G/4G cellular data service to use that as your primary means
of connectivity to ensure that attendees without cellular data
service have optimal performance.
To provide you with a better experience on the show floor and in
the common space, two wireless networks (SSIDs) are available
for attendee use:
•Orlando2014 on 5.0 GHz network (iPhone 5/5s, iPads, tablets,
and laptops)
•Orlando2014_OLD on 2.4 GHz network (iPhone 4/4s, iPod
Touch, most smartphones, and older laptops)
|
www.asug.com
Important: Due to the number of attendees and limitations of
Wi-Fi technology, the wireless networks can become
oversaturated quickly in high-density environments. This is
especially true for most smartphones and older laptops that
use the 802.11g (2.4 GHz) protocol, which is limited to three
channels. Devices that use 802.11an (5.0 GHz) work more
efficiently in a high-density environment because 24 channels
are available. Newer laptops, iPhone 5, iPads, and some tablets
have wireless adapters capable of using this frequency. For best
performance, we strongly suggest that you use the cellular
service on your older 2.4 devices whenever possible.
Thank you to CenturyLink Technology Solutions for sponsoring
the Internet bandwidth service.
To maintain the integrity of the Wi-Fi service, do not use
devices such as MiFis, personal access points, and wireless
routers while at the conference. These devices will cause
additional interference for attendees, demos, and sessions.

Jon is the Chairman of The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which
provides solutions and opportunity for families and individuals
in economic despair. It is the organization’s purpose to assist in
establishing programs that provide food and affordable housing
for those affected by poverty and homelessness, while supporting social services and job training programs.
Since 2006, The Soul Foundation has helped provide over 360
units of affordable housing for people who were formerly homeless or of low income. In October 2011, the Foundation expanded by opening The JBJ Soul Kitchen to address issues of food
insecurity, and has since served over 20,000 meals. The community kitchen serves nutritious, culinary dishes in a restaurant
atmosphere where diners contribute either volunteer hours or a
minimum donation for their meals. As the Foundation continues
to expand, the goal is to assist with rebuilding pride in one’s self
and one’s community – one SOUL at a time.
