Join SAP SuccessFactors President Mike Ettling, along with SAP SuccessFactors “all-in” customers Christy Pambianchi, senior vice president of Global HR at Corning Incorporated, and Andrew Wilson, CIO of Accenture, for an unconventional, un-keynote opening session hosted by Megan Meany.

Hot topics at this year’s SuccessConnect include how digitalizing processes and strategies makes HR more effective and relevant to all employees, including the executive team; how technology helps businesses recruit, develop and retain the people you need to make your company successful amidst the rapid pace of change in our world today; how addressing unconscious bias enables you to build the diverse and inclusive teams that make businesses more profitable; and how SAP SuccessFactors ensures you are developing and supporting all-in people, people who are excited to come to work every day, feel supported and do what it takes for your business to win.
Don’t miss your chance to experience how SAP SuccessFactors and some of our most innovative customers from around the world demonstrate that while technology helps in the journey to transformation, ultimately, success is simply human.
