If you are heading out to San Francisco for Oracle Open World a bit early and have some free time on Sunday the 22nd, you will want to take advantage of the 5th Annual OAUG Oracle Users Forum being held at the San Francisco Hilton.
According to the OAUG webite:
You also won’t want to miss the 5th Annual Oracle Users Forum, which will take place on Sunday, October 22, 2006, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the San Francisco Hilton. Over 40 SIG meetings (PDF file) will be held throughout the morning. Meetings will cover a variety of topics and can be viewed in the Content Catalog, which can be added to your agenda. You need not be a member of a specific SIG or affiliated user group to attend; you just need to have an interest in the focus of the SIG. In the afternoon, join the OAUG for four special community outreach sessions covering our newly affiliated groups of PeopleSoft, Siebel, the Oracle Retail Users Group (ORUG, formerly Retek) and Portal Software. Additionally, the OAUG will feature five selected white paper sessions. Come for the content and discover the value of the instruction available from your peers within the OAUG. The forum is open to all registered OpenWorld attendees.
Having participated in several SIG’s (Special Interest Groups) in the past, I can attest that there is tremendous value in being able to network with others with similar interests, issues, and problems relating to particular niches of the Oracle e-Business Suite. Thinking of implementing XML Publisher into your environment? Considering an upgrade? Trying to understand how you can leverage the Business Intelligence components of 11i? There are SIG’s for each of these topics and many more to help you network with others with similar questions.
Thanks for all your comments so far regarding your thoughts on this year’s conference. Post a comment to let us know if there are other Oracle Open World 2006 topics you would like to see covered. Hope to see you in San Francisco!
