“For leaders in the chemicals industry, this conference is a must-attend. It’s the only SAP event where the specific regulatory, safety and operational requirements of chemical manufacturers are the priority. The focus is on learning from successful projects and exchanging experiences with peers facing the same compliance pressures, product complexity and market volatility. It’s about taking back practical insights and innovations that strengthen performance long-term competitiveness.”
