Events on SAPUI5
Check out events about SAPUI5 and its related open source projects.
UI5ers live
UI5ers live is an online series to promote an intensive interaction within our UI5 community. Once a month, the UI5 team opens up the line for 45 minutes to discuss the latest UI5 features, inform about topics they are currently working on, and exchange views and ideas around UI5. Everybody is invited to get involved and can submit topics for upcoming episodes. Send us your ideas via e-mail and we will get back to you. Or give us a shout in the UI5ers_live channel on OpenUI5 Slack and we can discuss it together.
The episodes are broadcast every second Thursday of a month at 15:15 German time and everybody can join without further action. All episodes will be recorded and published on the OpenUI5 YouTube channel afterwards.

15:15 CEST
Stefan Blamberg (UI5 dev team) showcases upcoming AI capabilities for adapting existing applications across no-code, low-code, and pro-code scenarios. See SAP Joule integrated directly into the key-user adaptation mode, describing intent in natural language, using live app runtime context to generate flexibility changes, and handling off semalessly to a code agent via the SAP Fiori tools MCP server when requirements go beyond key-user scope.
Peter Muessig introduces the JSX/TSX runtime for OpenUI5: write your views in TypeScript with full per-control type safety and IDE support — no virtual DOM, no reconciler, just OpenUI5 as you know it. Quietly announced at UI5con, this is the full story: live demo, key concepts, and how it works under the hood.
Manasi Mishra and Komma Rakshitha then show how to take SAPUI5 applications beyond standard controls by embedding modern open-source visualization libraries as first-class SAPUI5 custom controls. Drawing on real-world work inspired by SAP Visual Business, they demonstrate practical integration patterns for Three.js (3D shapes, drag-and-drop, selection) and MapLibre (vector maps, custom arrow overlays, spot markers, rectangular selection). The talk covers project setup, dependency management, and how to bridge the rendering and event models between SAPUI5 and external libraries — patterns you can apply immediately in your own apps.
Meanwhile, debugging apps just got a lot more convenient. OpenUI5 1.149 ships experimental built-in debug utilities — a global ui5 object in the browser console that gives you structured access to controls, modules, and framework internals. No globals required. Thorsten Hochreuter shows what's there and how to use it. Activate with sap-ui-debug-tools=true and type ui5.help() to get started.
UI5con
UI5con is a community-driven event to connect all the UI5 users and fans out there - a common platform to get to know each other, discuss innovations and find solutions. The event is organized by the community, usually free of charge and very informal: Everyone interested in UI5 and its related projects is welcome!
Once a year, the UI5 team itself acts also as host and takes over the organization of a one day event in St. Leon-Rot/Germany packed with lectures, talks, hands-on sessions, and networking opportunities for around 400 attendees.

SAP's commitment to open source extends to its SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), Fiori elements, and UI5, enabling developers to build robust and scalable applications with enhanced user interfaces. Learn how these three MCP servers facilitate SAP BTP development using large language models (LLMs). Discuss how they can accelerate your development process. Our experts will provide a glimpse into their advanced functionalities.
