me at Oracle Open World 2014
This day 3 weeks time (on the 24th Sept) I will be heading out to San Francisco for Oracle Open World. Over the course on 9 days I will be taking part in the Oracle ACE Director briefing and in Oracle Open World. The following outlines my main activities, sessions that I’m presenting at and sessions that I have been asked to attend.
25th-26th Sept. I will be at the Oracle ACE Director briefing. This will be my second briefing as it is a fantastic event where most of the SVPs and various VPs come in to tell us what plans Oracle has for the next few months and what announcements will be made at OOW. We even get Thomas Kurian in to talk to us for about 90 minutes.
Sunday 28th Sept. 9:00-9:45. I will be presenting with Roel Hartman on how to integrate Oracle Data Mining into APEX. The demonstration will involve how you can built BI dashboards in APEX and how by using Oracle Data Mining you can monitor customer sentiment over time. If we get time we home to show you how you can also use this customer sentiment (using Oracle Data Mining) to build some workflows in APEX. The presentation is part of the User Group Sunday Forum and will be in room 304 in the Moscone West building.
Monday 29 Sept. 18:30-20:00. Steven Feuerstein and Tom Kyte are hosting a special event that is a Celebration of SQL and Pl/SQL. Oracle Press has asked me and a few other authors to be at this event and this might have some copies of out books available. I was going to this event anyway as it is a great way to celebrate something that we us on a daily basis and for me for the past 21+ years.
Tuesday 30th Sept. 8:30-12:00. I will be at a Oracle Publishers Seminar. This is a special event arranged for people who have published books on Oracle with the main book publishers. I’ve been invited to this by Oracle Press.
Wednesday 1st Oct. is going to be a busy day between sessions, the Oracle Press book signing and the bloggers meet up.
10:15-11:00 (Moscone South 301) Fiserv will be presenting their case study on how they used Oracle Data Mining to combat fraud in online payments. Charlie Berger, the product manager for ODM, will be co-presenting. He has said he will be giving my book a plug and will point to me in the audience if anyone would like to talk to me about it.
13:00-13:00 Oracle Press has arranged a meet the authors / Book signing session. So during this time you will find me at the Oracle Press store at OOW. If you buy my book I will be on hand to sign it for you or if you have already bought the book then bring it along and I can sign it for you.
18:00-20:00 Every year at OOW this is a bloggers meet-up sponsored by OTN and Phytian. This is where us independent bloggers from around the world get to meet each other face-to-face and get to bond over a drink. As must of us blogger communicate in the virtual world this is a great event for us to put faces to names and to talk about our blogs. This will be in Jullian’s beside the Moscone centre.
There are lots of other sessions and events on during OOW. I hope to get to as many as possible during the week. But the sessions above are the ones (at the time of writing this) that you will definitely find me at.
A big thank you has to go out to Oracle and OTN who are sponsoring my flights and hotel during this trip. This is part of the Oracle ACE Director programme. Also for many of the other events that go on during the week (and a bit) of OOW. Also a thank you to DIT for giving me the time to go to OOW.
