Several major ERP conferences are still ahead in 2026, covering the latest developments in AI, automation, cloud platforms, and implementation.
ERP Conferences: Key Findings
- Conferences running from September through November 2026 offer late-year opportunities to compare systems, plan implementations, and prepare for 2027.
- Vendor-led events offer the clearest view of product roadmaps, while independent conferences make it easier to compare platforms and implementation approaches.
- Several major events overlap in October, so teams may need to choose between Community Summit, Workday Rising, IFS Unleashed, Directions EMEA, and SAP TechEd.
- Virtual attendance can cover keynotes and announcements, but the value of attending in person depends on workshops, technical training, vendor access, and the total cost of travel.
How ERP Conferences Can Shape Your Strategy in 2026
ERP conferences bring together CIOs, consultants, systems integrators, and enterprise leaders to examine how modern platforms are changing finance, supply chains, HR, and business intelligence. Product roadmaps sit alongside customer case studies and technical sessions, making it easier to compare vendor claims with real implementation experience.
Fortune Business Insights estimates the global ERP software market at $106.22 billion in 2026, up from $92.6 billion in 2025, and forecasts the market will reach $281.58 billion by 2034.
Teams can use these events to investigate platforms, question vendors, learn how peers handled difficult projects, and find specialists for work they can’t manage internally. The right choice depends on the team’s current priority, whether that’s selecting a system, preparing an implementation, or improving one already in use.
Before choosing an event, building a future-ready ERP strategy helps you identify the capabilities, integration gaps, and operating problems worth investigating.
1. Odoo Experience 2026
For Odoo users and developers exploring new features, integrations, and use cases.
- Date: September 24–26, 2026
- Medium: In-person
- Location: Brussels Expo, Belgium
- Key speakers:
- Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve, Co-Founder and CEO, Alan
- Rolf Driesen, CEO, Deloitte Belgium
- Michiel De Keyzer, Director of Cloud, Data & AI, PwC Belgium
- Price:
- Basic pass: Free
- Regular price: $ 1,136.12
Odoo Experience has grown into one of the most distinctive ERP events in Europe, combining product launches, customer stories, partner activity, and a large community presence in one place.
It’s intended for companies already using Odoo or evaluating it as a flexible, modular alternative to more heavyweight ERP platforms.
The event tends to blend business and technical content well. You can get a close look at new features, integrations, and implementation ideas while also seeing how the ecosystem is evolving around Odoo. For teams that value flexibility and want a conference with strong product energy, this one stands out.
2. SAP Connect
For SAP customers exploring innovations that extend and enhance their ERP environments.
- Date: October 5–7, 2026
- Medium: In-person and virtual
- Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
- Key speakers:
- Jason Sudeikis, actor, comedian, writer, and producer
- Additional speakers TBA
- Price:
- Virtual attendance: Free
- Standard pass: $1,899
- International and public-sector passes: $1,499
SAP Connect is aimed at organizations that want to understand how to get more value from SAP across functions, not just within the ERP core.
The event is positioned around helping customers maximize SAP solutions, connect with peers and partners, and explore experiences tailored to different priorities across the business.
That makes it a useful option for leaders who are less focused on big vision announcements and more interested in applied innovation.
If your team wants to improve what it already runs, extend capabilities, and connect ERP decisions to areas like customer experience, finance, and supply chain, this SAP event would be a practical fit.
3. ERP Summit Mexico
For organizations in Latin America comparing ERP solutions and vendors.
- Date: October 6, 2026
- Medium: In-person
- Location: Mexico City; one event listing names the World Trade Center
- Key speakers:
- Mehdi Aftah, CTO, Technology Evaluation Centers
- Elisa García Barragán, CEO, Grupo Netsoft
- Juan Carlos Ruiz, Sales Director for Oracle NetSuite, Northern Latin America
- Price: ~$94
ERP Summit Mexico is a large software and management event with a clear emphasis on business environment, technological innovation, and market trends.
For Latin American companies comparing ERP options or trying to understand the vendor landscape more clearly, it offers a broad view rather than a single-platform perspective.
It is the kind of event that can be especially useful early in a buying or transformation process. It may help shorten the research cycle if your team wants to assess multiple providers, hear how the market is shifting, and make practical vendor comparisons in one setting.
Ensure teams heading into procurement understand how to write an ERP RFP before attending, so each vendor can be assessed against the same business, technical, and implementation requirements.
4. Infor Velocity Week 2026

The conference also includes peer networking and strategy sessions for teams evaluating large-scale business system transformation.
Because the agenda connects finance, planning, and analytics, it’s also a useful place to explore how ERP data feeds business intelligence systems and executive decision-making.
7. IFS Unleashed
For manufacturers, service organizations, and enterprises modernizing asset management, supply chains, and industrial operations.

Lumenia ERP HEADtoHEAD gives buying teams a structured way to compare ERP systems under the same conditions. The two-day event includes 28 demonstrations covering 13 ERP solutions, with vendors following defined scripts rather than choosing only the capabilities they want to showcase.
Demonstrations cover finance, production, procurement, project-based operations, business intelligence and analytics, sales, human capital management, and supply chain planning. Vendor-independent keynotes also address ERP selection, implementation, readiness, and digital transformation.
Attendance is limited to prospective ERP buyers, which keeps the program focused on organizations planning an upgrade or replacement. Four demonstration tracks run concurrently, so teams evaluating several functions may benefit from sending two attendees and comparing notes afterward.
9. Oracle AI World 2026
For Oracle customers exploring AI-driven innovation in cloud ERP.
- Date: October 25–28, 2026
- Medium: In-person

- Late: $2,399 (from September 22)
Oracle AI World is broader than ERP alone, but that is part of its value. It brings together Oracle customers exploring how AI is being applied across data, applications, and cloud infrastructure, which makes it highly relevant for teams using Oracle ERP Cloud as part of a larger enterprise stack.
For ERP leaders, the event offers a chance to understand where Oracle is placing its bets and how AI is being woven into enterprise workflows.
If your priorities include automation, forecasting, smarter operations, or tighter integration between ERP and the wider Oracle platform, this is a useful place to get ahead of the curve
10. SuiteWorld
For NetSuite users and partners learning about product updates and best practices.
- Date: October 25–28, 2026
- Medium: In-person and on-air/online
- Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
- Key speakers: TBD
- Price: TBD
SuiteWorld is NetSuite’s flagship annual event and a core gathering for customers, partners, and solution providers in the NetSuite ecosystem.
It is where attendees get product direction, customer examples, partner exposure, and a broader sense of where NetSuite is heading across finance, operations, commerce, and analytics.
Because NetSuite often appeals to fast-moving midmarket and upper-midmarket organizations, SuiteWorld tends to be especially useful for teams focused on scalable growth, process improvement, and practical modernization.
If NetSuite sits close to the center of your operating model, this is one of the best places to pick up insights and operational ideas.
11. Directions EMEA
For European Business Central partners sharing updates, knowledge, and opportunities.
- Date: October 27–29, 2026
- Medium: In-person

- Key speakers: TBA
- Price:

It’s meant for those shaping the product’s commercial and technical future, from Microsoft representatives and partners to consultants and developers working in the field every day.
For European partners in particular, the value is in the concentration of expertise. It's worthwhile for anyone who wants to stay close to Business Central’s evolution, strengthen regional connections, and spot the kinds of changes that will affect services, products, and go-to-market decisions next.
12. SAP TechEd
For developers and architects building and extending SAP technologies.

- Medium: In-person and virtual
- Location: Berlin, Germany, plus virtual attendance
- Key speakers: TBA
- Price:
- Standard pass: ~$2,318
- Public-sector pass: ~$1,970
SAP TechEd is where SAP’s technical audience goes deep. It is designed for developers, architects, and IT professionals who need hands-on learning rather than high-level transformation messaging, with emphasis on application development, integration, data, AI, and implementation best practices.
That focus makes it especially relevant for ERP teams responsible for extending, integrating, or modernizing SAP environments.
If Sapphire is where you hear the strategic story, TechEd is where you get closer to the tools, patterns, and technical detail needed to turn that story into working systems
13. Epicor Insights for Building Supply and Retail 2026

- Date: November 9–11, 2026

- Key speaker: Ben Nemtin, Co-Founder, The Buried Life Movement
- Price: $750 per person with early-bird registration
Epicor Insights for Building Supply and Retail narrows the ERP conversation to the operational needs of lumber dealers, building suppliers, hardware businesses, and retailers. It’s for those using BisTrack, LumberTrack, Eagle, or Propello to modernize operations, improve margins, and get more from their existing software.
The program includes more than 90 breakout sessions across different products and roles. Epicor also expects over 700 attendees to give users a chance to compare processes and learn how similar businesses are applying the platform.
Optional Extended Education sessions take place on November 9, followed by keynotes and breakout sessions on November 10 and 11. These longer training sessions cover new capabilities and practical skills with input from Epicor’s learning, product, development, support, and services teams.
Attendance is limited to current Epicor customers, authorized partners, and invited guests, so this event is best suited to existing users rather than businesses comparing ERP vendors.
14. SAPinsider Copenhagen 2026
For organizations planning or managing S/4HANA migration projects.
- Date: November 17–19, 2026
- Medium: In-person
- Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
- Key speakers:
- Bruno Borges-Hansen, S/4HANA Project Director, Novo Nordisk
- Eric Peterson, Director of SAP Engineering, Under Armour
- Timo Elliott, VP and Global Innovation Evangelist, SAP
- Price:
- From ~$2,156
SAPinsider EMEA is geared torwards organizations that want grounded advice on SAP transformation rather than abstract future-state talk.
It emphasizes hands-on learning, real-world SAP strategies, and peer-driven insight, which is especially valuable for teams planning or managing S/4HANA migrations and related modernization work.
What makes it useful is the practical orientation. Attendees come to compare approaches, pressure-test decisions, and learn from companies further along in the process.
If your team is trying to reduce risk around S/4HANA planning or move from theory to execution, SAPinsider is one of the more relevant conferences on this list.
15. Mastering SAP Collaborate
For SAP professionals responsible for implementing and optimizing ERP systems.

- Medium: In-person
- Location: Sydney, Australia

- Aman Kaur-Shaik, HR Director, Customer Experience, Knowledge Management and Continuous Improvement, Nutrien
- Price:
- Early-bird pass: ~$1,565
- Full price: ~$2,454
Mastering SAP Collaborate is aimed at professionals who need useful SAP guidance they can actually apply, not just a broad view of the market. The event is framed around learning, problem-solving, and connection.
As part of the broader SAP TechEd “on tour” experience, its content spans development, architecture, operations, finance, HR, security, and data. That broad but practitioner-led format makes it helpful for teams responsible for improving existing SAP environments.
How To Choose the Right ERP Conference
Choose the conference based on the next piece of ERP work your team needs to complete:
- Teams comparing ERP systems need independent or multi-vendor events with comparable product demonstrations.
- Implementation and migration teams should look for customer case studies, hands-on workshops, and sessions that address common project problems.
- Teams improving an existing ERP system can use vendor conferences to review product roadmaps, receive advanced training, and speak directly with product teams.
Match attendees to the agenda with strategy and governance for leaders, technical depth for architects, and process-specific sessions for functional teams.
Read the session descriptions before booking. AI and ERP modernization could dominate the event marketing even if they get little time in the program. Check the session level, workshop access, and mix of vendor presentations and customer-led discussions.
This year’s events broadly fall into four groups:
- ERP selection and comparison
- Lumenia ERP HEADtoHEAD Ireland
- ERP Summit Mexico
- Vendor roadmaps and ecosystem updates
- Odoo Experience
- SAP Connect
- Infor Velocity Week
- Workday Rising
- IFS Unleashed
- Oracle AI World
- SuiteWorld
- Implementation and technical training
- SAP TechEd Berlin
- SAPinsider Copenhagen
- Mastering SAP Collaborate
- Community and industry-specific learning
- Community Summit North America
- Directions EMEA
- Epicor Insights for Building Supply and Retail
Next, review the agenda at session level. An executive program may offer valuable strategic direction but little for the architects and functional leads doing the implementation work.
Virtual access is often enough for product announcements and keynotes. Paying for in-person attendance makes more sense when you need workshops, certification, vendor meetings, or candid conversations with other users, so send the team member who owns the next decision.
