F.A.Q
-
Is ABAPConf for ABAP devs?
Yes. It was and always will be. ABAP developers are full stack developers. In the past, the UI were transactions, reports and Dynpros. The UI is now Fiori (Elements). With including officially Fiori topics by adding FioriConf to ABAPConf, we want to honor the role of a modern ABAP developer: writing ABAP and delivering Fiori apps.
-
Is FioriConf dead?
FioriConf is merged with ABAPConf and will live on. As long as ABAP devs will have to develop Fiori apps, FioriConf will live on. There won't be a separate date for FioriConf or a FioriConf 2025. It is included in ABAPConf 2025.
-
Is ABAPConf an on site only event?
No. We are planning to stream the sessions live to YouTube.
-
What about Watch Parties?
Great! Do it! Host one! Get in touch with us and we will put your watch party on the official watch party list. Here is an example from ABAPConf 2024. We definitely support this. You can count on us and our support.

-
Will the sessions be recorded?
Yes.
-
Will there be sessions in English?
Yes. In fact, as always, most sessions will be in English. We plan to offer sessions also in German and - depending on a co-location - in a different language too. We want to be were the ABAP devs are.

Can my company sponsor the event?
We are excited to collaborate with you in many ways. Currently the sponsor package we offer is to be a location host.
