COLLABORATE 09: Why You Need to Be There During Tough Economic Times
Would you like to have a very affordable way to increase your value to your employer and protect your company’s software investment? Are you looking for networking and educational resources to help you through these tough times? Do you need an economical way to talk with fellow users of Oracle products so you can learn how they solved the same problems you are facing? Are you seeking one place where you can talk to a large number of consultants and vendors who can answer your questions and provide you with information?
The economy is undeniably in turmoil, but now is not the time to sit paralyzed by uncertainty and miss out on one of the industry’s most relevant and anticipated education and networking events — COLLABORATE 09: Technology and Applications Forum for the Oracle Community. In today’s challenging business environment, when organizations are pushing for performance from every critical resource, COLLABORATE 09 delivers the education, information and connections that can help you have an immediate and positive impact in your organization. COLLABORATE 09 can help you survive and thrive and get the very most out of your Oracle investment.
COLLABORATE 09 presents an unparalleled value. A full week of intensive education and training costs as little as $1,135. Compare that with $3000 or more in enrollment fees for a week of education with other Oracle-related training venues and events and the value is clear. Add in the opportunities to interact with peers, industry experts, vendors and Oracle executives, and the value of COLLABORATE grows substantially. Plus, when you take advantage of the early-bird registration or group discounts, the per-person price becomes even more affordable.
Whether you are a user of Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Retail, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Oracle Communications, MetaSolv, Hyperion or another product family within the family of Oracle Applications, COLLABORATE 09 offers exceptional educational experiences tailored specifically for you and your needs. Many of the technical presentations give information on how to reduce costs, streamline implementations and offer both time- and money-saving tips on handling potential issues with the products you are using.
Under one roof, you will find nearly 1,000 education sessions packed with best practices and case studies; 19 educational tracks; eight deep-dive workshops; peer-to-peer interaction; dozens of networking events; Geographic (Geo) and Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings; and more than 150 exhibitors.
Insightful sessions and hands-on labs designed to help increase your Oracle ROI are just a component of what makes COLLABORATE 09 an unforgettable experience. COLLABORATE 09 also presents a host of networking opportunities and special events such as “Women in IT” and “Birds of a Feather” networking stations, which enable participants to personalize their conference experience through forging lasting connections with like-minded professionals. In addition, Oracle company leaders will share their latest information and best practices during multiple Oracle-hosted presentations. Also, users are encouraged to participate in OAUG SIG meetings or connect with Geos in the OAUG Geo Networking Lounge.
This is a mere snapshot of the extensive networking and professional development opportunities offered at COLLABORATE 09. This is your chance to connect with a powerful global community of Oracle professionals, experience a dynamic exchange of ideas and best practices, learn what best works for you and interact with Oracle executives. I hope to see you at what can arguably be claimed the most advantageous COLLABORATE ever.

Mike Levin
OAUG Executive Director
