On December 4, 2007, SAP hosted over 340 of the IT industry's most important thought leaders at the Fifth Annual SAP Influencer Summit. Company executives offered insight into SAP's roadmap for the future and engaged in open dialogues with the people who are shaping our marketplace.

This year's event was also a milestone for SAP because we welcomed experts from diverse disciplines – representing industry analysts, bloggers, journalists, university faculty, business leaders, the SAP user group SUGEN, as well as our customer and partner communities. It was an exciting – and productive – confluence of some of the most influential, interesting thinkers in the business and IT worlds.

In the course of the one-day event, influencers and SAP executives, customers and partners discussed innovation and its role in creating business network transformation. Some of the highlights from this year's event included:

• Keynote presentations focused on innovating for continued success from Henning Kagermann, Peter Zencke, Jim Hagemann Snabe, and Klaus Kreplin
• Open interviews and one-on-one meetings with key executives, customers, and partners.
• Executive strategy sessions with SAP thought leaders
