The Story of SAP Inside Track Fortaleza 2026: A Journey of Community, Innovation, and Growth

 

Every great community event has a story, and the chapter written by SAP Inside Track Fortaleza 2026 was nothing short of extraordinary. More than just a conference, it became a true celebration of knowledge sharing, connection, and the relentless drive for innovation within the SAP ecosystem. But like any great story, the magic didn't just happen on a single day—it was built step by step, all week long.

The Prelude: A Week of Online Learning

Before the main stage lights ever turned on in Fortaleza, the momentum was already building online. Throughout the preceding week, our virtual tracks set a high bar for technical excellence:

• Daniel Mateo kicked things off by unlocking the latest innovations in company consolidation with New Features in SAP Group Reporting latest Cloud edition.
• Manuel Robalinho dived deep into the architecture of modern enterprise systems with The Finance APIs Revolution Supercharging Your SAP, exploring massive real-world banking integrations.
• Yasmin Abreu eu shared an inspiring corporate transformation story, detailing the strategies, hurdles, and lessons learned during Grupo Aço Cearense's migration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
• Leonardo Pires es shifted our focus to logistics, proving that smart warehousing isn't about robots—it starts right at the root with data and processes using SAP EWM and AI.
• Paulo Cordeiro laid down an essential foundation for the AI era, reminding us why master data governance must come first to ensure clean, reliable ecosystems before automating decisions.

The Core: A Day of Inspiration in Fortaleza

When the big day finally arrived, the energy in Fortaleza was electric. Opening with a warm welcome, breakfast, and a soulful musical performance by @Estação da Luz, Jonys Arcanjo took the stage to remind everyone of the true power and heartbeat of SAP Communities.

From that moment on, the agenda unfolded into a rich tapestry of business transformation and cutting-edge technology:

• Business & Strategy: Diego Angelim and Taís Maia (Grupo Aço Cearense) unraveled the complexities of Brazil's Tax Reform. Shortly after, Diego Paula, Wander Galeti, and Patricia de Castro Cruz (EY) demonstrated how SAP IBP, PMO, and DTO reshaped strategic planning, while Luciana Nogueira and Nathalia G.A Moreira broke down the practical implementation of IFRS 16.
• The AI & Data Revolution: The afternoon sessions pushed us boldly into the future. Marcelo Korn (Tachyonix) opened up deep insights into AI across the Brazilian SAP landscape. We explored automation's impact with @Diego Azevedo (RCIt), while Andre Fracchetta (Solveplan) reinforced the golden rule that data comes before AI. Paulo Venthura and Luciano Casado da Silva Filho (GFX) tackled the innovation paradox, followed by @João Martins (YTecnologia) connecting SAP BTP governance, AI, and compliance.
• The technological horizon expanded even further as Juliana Genova (SAP) introduced agentic AI and thinking data in BDC, Flavio Carvalho (Accenture) guided us through new operational levers with AI agents, and Celso Azevedo (DH Consulting) closed out the talk tracks by looking at the risks and future of business processes when AI enters the loop.

Hands-On Mastery & A Musical Finale

Theory is vital, but practice brings it to life. Attendees rolled up their sleeves during two exclusive Hands-on sessions exploring the depths of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), guided expertly in the morning by Luciano Casado and in the afternoon by Jonys Arcanjo.

As the sun began to set, the event transitioned into celebration. Powered by the incredible rhythms of the Danilo Gurgel Trio and capped off with community giveaways, it was the perfect closing to a historic milestone.
