Why COLLABORATE 10 — OAUG Forum?

What is COLLABORATE 10?

The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG), the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) and Quest International Users Group (Quest), present COLLABORATE 10, Technology and Applications Forum for the Oracle Community. As an educational conference, COLLABORATE 10 helps users of the full family of Oracle business applications and database software gain greater value from their Oracle investments. Created by and for customers, COLLABORATE 10 offers an expert blend of customer-to-customer interaction and insights from technology visionaries and Oracle strategists. Expand your network of contacts by interacting with Oracle customers, solutions providers, consultants, developers and representatives from Oracle Corporation at COLLABORATE 10.

Why this conference?

It is difficult for Oracle applications users to find meaningful training that can provide both breadth and depth in targeted technologies. Each year COLLABORATE proves, for many applications users, to deliver the best value as a training alternative. The quality and quantity of educational value at COLLABORATE conferences has been consistent and cost-beneficial, over the years.

COLLABORATE 10 presents unparalleled value. A full week of intensive education and training costs as little as $995. Compare that with $3,000 or more in enrollment fees for a week of education with other Oracle-related training venues and events and the value is clear.

Your paid registration through the IOUG, the OAUG or Quest entitles you to enjoy the educational offerings of all three organizations to obtain the latest education on Oracle applications and database technology. You can choose to attend one organization’s educational sessions or benefit from other tracks being offered by the other organizations and meet new professional contacts.

Over five exciting days, you will trade ideas with more than 5,000 like-minded attendees, network with Oracle Corporation and more than 250 top third-party providers in the Exhibitor Showcase and choose from nearly 1,000 educational sessions to attend. COLLABORATE provides the best opportunity to explore how you can get the most out of your existing products and learn about others that you can integrate into your environment.
