RMOUG 2013, All the Glory, Half the Calories of Other Conferences!
I’m always taken aback how much conferences cost, even if they are way cheaper options than many formal classes. Education costs money, we all know that, but considering how little it costs to attend RMOUG Training Days, I always tell people, this is one of the best training opportunities anyone can take advantage of.
I need to remind folks of some of the highlights of this great conference that I am very proud to be the Training Days director of. This year you have new speakers like Oracle Open World’s Technologist of the Year, Arup Nanda along with so many other great speakers like Frits Hoogland, Andy Colvin and John Clarke. These folks are going to offer some great new content, as are our great return speakers like Maria Colgan, Tim Gorman, Cary Millsap and Dominic Delmolino. It will be held once again at the wonderful Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, Colorado.
Support of Oracle’s ACE/ACED program is phenomenal again this year. If you aren’t familiar with this program, its the Oracle community’s way of recognizing the database specialists who continue to give back to their Oracle Community. For more information about this incredible program, check out OTN ACE FAQ. The ACE and ACE Directors that will be present at RMOUG this year:
ACE Directors: Alex Gorabchev, Debra Lilley, Arup Nanda, Bradley Brown, Sheeri Cabral, Tim Gorman, Kent Graziano, Frits Hoogland, Dan Hotka, Peter Koletzke, Cary Millsap, Daniel Morgan, Mogens Norgaard, Kerry Osborne, Gwen Shapira, Scott Spendolini, Floyd Teter
ACE: Karl Arao, Christo Kutrovsky, Michael Abbey, Jordan Braunstein, Karen Morton, Stewart Bryson, Chris Ostrowski, Andy Colvin, Kellyn Pot’Vin, Jared Still, Mark Farnham, Michael Fons, Mike Swing, Jeff Jacobs, George Trujillo, John King, Martin Widlake
Our keynote speaker this year is Mogens Norgaard, Oak Table founder, Director at Miracle of Denmark and our favorite “Great Dane”, will be providing us with some phenomenal insight on where the database world is heading and the impact of mobile data.
Please, also check out the University Sessions and Cary Millsap’s Mastering Trace Data on the 11th. These are additional cost from the conference, but considering the value they provide, what a great opportunity everyone who attends this conference is offered!
February is coming up quick! Hope to see you there! 🙂
Hi Kellyn, thank you very much for organizing such great event!
Checking calendar http://www.technicalconferencesolutions.com/pls/caat/caat_abstract_reports.topic_schedule?conference_id=115 I see that sessions are of different colors, is it based on their load or it is just to separate them on the page.
And for database related sessions should I also be registered (as for OTN training days) or it will be free access to rooms?
Looking forward to be there!
Thanks,
Andrey
Hi Andrey!
Glad you can attend and thank you for the kind words. The colors actually identify the tracks for the events. We’ve tried to keep the tracks centered to certain rooms in the conference center, but with schedule updates as folks required, it’s become a little askew… 🙂
The OTN days sessions are limited to 80 people max per room. I know Maria Colgan’s is already filled and the others are close. If you go to the registration page once you log into the RMOUG site, you will see you can register for those, just as you would for the conference. This will guarantee you a spot if there is still one open. Don’t forget about our great University sessions, too! I’d recommend any of them, but knowing your knowledge area, I’d like to recommend Carlos Sierra’s, if you are up for a little extra cost. He is doing his popular SQLT performance session! http://www.technicalconferencesolutions.com/pls/caat/caat_abstract_reports.display_presenter_abstract?conference_id=115&presenter_id=490&abstract_id=360968
See you soon!
Kellyn
