SAP Connect Days for Data and IT is the leading SAP event covering the topics of platforms, data, and artificial intelligence. On March 11 and 12, 2026, IT decision-makers, architects, and developers will meet in Düsseldorf to exchange insights on current SAP solutions and AI-based applications. The venue is the Areal Böhler. Visitors can expect two days full of inspiration – with practical presentations, hands-on sessions, expert discussions, and inspiring keynotes from companies, partners, and SAP.
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) are two key elements for future-proof SAP landscapes. They create the architectural foundation for networked processes, targeted AI use, data-driven decisions, and an open data ecosystem. Consequently, SAP BTP and SAP BDC play an essential role at SAP Connect Days for Data and IT 2026, where the following topics will be presented on the respective stages:
Stage 1: Modernization of SAP Business Warehouse (BW)
Stage 2: Software development with AI
Stage 3: Networked, AI-supported processes
Stage 4: Added value through data
Stage 5: Networked data and enterprise architecture
As a proven specialist for SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP Business Data Cloud, IBsolution will of course participate in SAP Connect Days for Data and IT. At their own booth, IBsolution experts will be available for personal discussions and will explain how companies need to set up their system landscape to meet the requirements of AI, data usage, and digital end-to-end processes.
On the theme stage, Otto Bock HealthCare and IBsolution will present a joint lecture entitled “APIs as a strategic backbone: How Otto Bock combines governance, scaling, and innovation.” In it, the two partners outline the path to centralized, company-wide API governance based on SAP API Management – from target vision and standards to operation and lifecycle to clean core, decoupling, and event-based integration. The presentation will take place on March 11, 2026, from 3:45 p.m. to 4:20 p.m.
A special guest awaits the visitors of SAP Connect Days for Data and IT at the end of the first day of the event: Smudo, member of the band “Die Fantastischen Vier,” will speak about disruptive changes in the music industry, successful transformations, and his personal perspective on artificial intelligence.
In addition to keynotes, impulse presentations, and success stories, hands-on breakout sessions are also part of the holistic concept of SAP Connect Days for Data and IT. This format gives participants the opportunity to build and deepen their practical knowledge of onboarding scenarios for SAP BTP and SAP BDC, best practice solutions, AI agents, and SAP Joule. In this way, participants gain valuable insights to drive the digital transformation in their companies.
