ERP Podcasts, Meetups, and Events: Where the Community Comes Alive

ERP has always been about more than technology. It’s about people sharing experiences, lessons, and ideas. In recent years, podcasts, meetups, and global events have become the lifeblood of the ERP community — spaces where professionals learn, network, and collaborate.

Why Podcasts Matter in ERP

  • Provide accessible thought leadership for professionals on the go.
  • Share candid insights from consultants, CIOs, and transformation leaders.
  • Expand knowledge beyond vendor marketing material.

The Power of Meetups

  • Local gatherings (both in-person and virtual) allow ERP professionals to connect with peers in a less formal environment.
  • Great for knowledge exchange, job opportunities, and community building.
  • Particularly effective in ERP hotspots like London, Munich, Amsterdam, and Chicago.

Global ERP Events

  • Flagship events like SAP Sapphire, Oracle CloudWorld, or Dynamics 365 Summit bring together thousands of professionals.
  • These forums are where vendors unveil roadmaps, consultants showcase expertise, and clients benchmark their journeys.
  • The networking and visibility benefits are unmatched.

How to Maximize These Platforms

  1. Engage Actively — Don’t just listen, contribute. Share perspectives, ask questions, and join discussions.
  2. Build Visibility — Speaking at meetups or guesting on podcasts boosts credibility.
  3. Leverage Relationships — Connections made at events often translate into project opportunities.

Case Example (Anonymized)
An independent IFS consultant built their reputation through a regional meetup network, later launching a podcast that attracted global attention. Within two years, they were invited to speak at a leading ERP conference and secured consulting contracts directly from their community visibility.

Conclusion
Podcasts, meetups, and events are more than networking tools — they’re where the ERP community truly comes alive. For professionals who want to learn, share, and grow, these platforms are no longer optional — they’re essential.
