2009 Exhibitor Advisory Council

The OAUG Exhibitor Advisory Council (EAC) had a successful meeting at Oracle OpenWorld, and one of the initiatives that came out of the meeting was a new feature that will help all of our exhibitors better prepare for COLLABORATE 09. Starting in December 2008, the EAC will begin a Council Blog on the OAUG Knowledge Factory™! So, if you haven’t already created a profile on the Knowledge Factory, do so now so you can receive the updates when the blog goes live.

If you have any questions about the Council Blog or COLLABORATE 09, please feel free to contact one of our EAC members or any of the OAUG staff.
