Transforming Enterprises. Architecting The Future
October 13 - 17, 2025 | San Ramon, CA - San Francisco Bay Area
SAP Multidimensional Architect Program - Transforming Enterprises. Architecting The Future
The architects of the future are multidimensional, blending deep technical expertise with business acumen, strategic vision, and human-centered skills. They go beyond designing systems and infrastructure to becoming trusted advisors who connect technology with purpose, people, and long-term value.
The SAP Multidimensional Architect Program is the evolution of the SAP Enterprise Architect Academy, building on its strong foundation and expanding into the multidisciplinary capabilities needed for 2026 and beyond.
This event will be the second cohort and evolution of our SAP Enterprise Architect Academy.
Four and a half days of learning including deep dives, expert sessions, immersive experiences, peer-to-peer networking Architects coming together to learn together.
Due to the exclusive nature of this October 13th to 17th event in San Ramon, California, and our commitment to providing a personalized, face-to-face learning experience, registration is limited to 100 participants. Priority will be given to practitioners from SAP customer organizations.
Agenda
The SAP Multidimensional Architect Program is a 4.5-day immersive learning experience designed for architects who are ready to lead from the future, not just manage the present.
The agenda combines inspiration, interaction, and impact - blending keynotes, track-based learning, collaborative exploration, and peer exchange.
