Sounds like a very interesting format! Will the Community Talks also be streamed for the virtual audience?

The submission proposal format above only shows the information for one speaker.  If a proposal is being submitted with two speakers, should the second speaker information also be included in the same format specified above?

[mynynachau]

Hi @MustafaBensan  🙂

Yes, that's right, if there are 2 speakers, the information about the second speaker should be included too.

[Amin_Omidy]

Hi @mynynachau 

Just want to clarify if we send our proposal ,do we have to join the SAPTech personally or we can send the recording and join virtually to answer any questions if it is required?

Thanks,
Amin

[mynynachau]

Hi @Amin_Omidy 

great question! Community Talks are happening live at SAP TechEd Bangalore, so only attendees of the conference onsite will have the chance to speak at Community Talks and have a live Q&A onsite with the audience. There won't be recordings. Hope that clarifies your question.

Please help spread the word, thanks! 😊

Best regards,

Mynyna
