If someone wanted to give me a brochure or something it was the work of seconds to get rid of it.Īmerica is America so at conferences you always get half a ton of food, and it is always good, no exception here. There were loads of them, all over the convention centre and the exhibitor hall. There is also a “Coyote Ugly” bar (not in Bourbon Street) so I had to go in that as well.Īnyway, none of that has got anything to do with an SAP conference, so let us get on with the important SAP related things. And I do not mean naughty women (I always went out in the daytime), I mean 80 odd bars, all with live music in different styles. The rest of my tourist things, when I was not doing conference related events, was going up and down Bourbon Street, which is just as good as advertised, if not better.
The second thing was to go to a big casino (I do not gamble but I do drink at casino bars) so I would think I was at TECHED Las Vegas. The very first thing I did, in order to soak up the local culture, was to go to a German beer place, because I lived in Germany for so long.
I had never been to New Orleans, so I added a few days before and afterwards for tourist things. From the 7 th to the 9 th of November ASUG (American SAP Users Group) did their equivalent of TECHED in New Orleans, due to the fact SAP itself was not doing a TECHED in the USA this year, only India.
