About this event
If you work anywhere near ERP and have ever thought, "there has to be a better way to talk about this," this room is for you. ANTI ERP ERP CLUB 002 (SF) is a meetup for people who want sharper conversations, stronger perspectives, and more honest exchange than you usually get in formal industry settings. This is not a polished conference and it is not a sales pitch disguised as a community event. It is an in-person evening in San Francisco for people who care about systems, operations, implementation reality, and the strange, messy, high-stakes world around ERP. What Is This? ANTI ERP ERP CLUB 002 (SF) is a community-driven meetup built around discussion, connection, and shared experience. The title signals a point of view: people in this space are often frustrated by bloated processes, rigid thinking, and generic advice, and they want room for more candid conversations about what actually works. Expect a social, networking-forward format rather than a heavily programmed event. That means the value comes from the people in the room: operators, builders, implementers, skeptics, and anyone who has spent time close to enterprise systems and wants better conversations about them. Because this is the second gathering, there is already a sense of continuity behind it. You are not walking into a one-off event with no center of gravity; you are stepping into an emerging community that is building its own tone, standards, and shared language over time. If you like events where you can speak plainly, ask specific questions, compare notes with smart peers, and leave with a few memorable conversations instead of a stack of vague inspiration, this format should feel refreshing. What to Expect The evening starts at 6:00 PM PDT on Tuesday, May 28 and is designed as an in-person meetup in San Francisco. The emphasis is on meeting people, getting into substantive conversations quickly, and making it easy to find others who care about similar problems or ideas. You can expect a flow that feels social but purposeful, with room for both casual introductions and deeper exchanges. Depending on how the night unfolds, that may include small-group conversations, informal topic clustering, spontaneous debates, and one-on-one networking that goes beyond surface-level intros. A typical attendee experience will likely look something like this: Arrive and get oriented to the room Meet other attendees working in or around ERP, operations, systems, and adjacent areas Join conversations around implementation challenges, process design, organizational friction, tooling, or lessons learned Trade perspectives with people who have seen the same category from very different angles Leave with a handful of strong new connections and a clearer sense of who you want to keep talking to This is the kind of event where being curious helps. Bring the stories you do not usually get to tell, the questions that deserve a smarter audience, and the takes you have refined through real work rather than theory. Why Attend The main reason to come is the quality of conversation. In many professional events, ERP gets flattened into jargon, vendor language, or sanitized case-study talk. Here, the draw is the chance to talk with people who understand the stakes and do not need everything translated into buzzwords. You may leave with practical insight, but just as importantly, you may leave with better framing. Sometimes the most valuable outcome from a meetup like this is hearing how someone else defines the problem, where they see avoidable complexity, or how they have navigated tradeoffs you are currently facing. There is also real value in finding your people in a category that can feel fragmented. Whether you are deep in enterprise systems work or orbiting the space from product, operations, finance, consulting, or implementation, it helps to meet others who can hold a nuanced conversation without defaulting to canned opinions. A few reasons this event may be worth your evening: You want candid, peer-level discussion rather than formal presentations You are looking to expand your network in San Francisco with people who think seriously about systems and operations You want exposure to different points of view from across the ERP ecosystem You appreciate events with a stronger signal-to-noise ratio than generic networking mixers You believe the best professional communities are built through repeated in-person conversations Practical Details This is an in-person event in San Francisco, USA. If you get energy from being in the room, reading people directly, and having conversations that can move naturally from quick intros to deeper discussion, the format plays to that. The meetup takes place on Tuesday, May 28 at 6:00 PM PDT, making it well suited to people coming after the workday. Plan for an evening atmosphere rather than a daytime seminar: conversational, social, and grounded in real interaction. Because the event centers on community and networking, it helps to arrive ready to participate. You do not need a polished pitch. You do not need to be "on." But you will get more out of the night if you come prepared to introduce yourself clearly, share what you are working on, and ask others thoughtful questions. The simplest way to think about ANTI ERP ERP CLUB 002 (SF) is this: if you want smarter company around ERP-adjacent work and a more honest room than most professional events offer, this is a strong place to spend a Tuesday evening.
Who should attend
This will feel especially right if you want better conversations about ERP, systems, and operational reality than you usually find at standard industry events. - You work directly with **ERP systems**, implementations, integrations, or process design and want to compare notes with others who understand the day-to-day complexity. - You are in **operations, finance, product, IT, or consulting** and regularly run into enterprise-system decisions that shape how teams actually work. - You enjoy **candid, informed discussion** more than polished presentations, and you would rather trade real lessons than sit through generic thought leadership. - You are building or refining your **professional network in San Francisco** and want to meet people with a strong point of view on systems, tooling, and organizational tradeoffs. - You have opinions, questions, frustrations, or hard-won insights about how ERP is discussed, bought, implemented, or lived with inside organizations. - You do your best networking in rooms that feel **smart, conversational, and low on pretense**, where a single good conversation can be more useful than an entire formal agenda. You do not need to fit one narrow profile to belong here. If the title makes immediate sense to you and sparks curiosity instead of confusion, there is a good chance this event is aimed at people like you.
