The IOUG Presents COLLABORATE 09
The IOUG is joining forces again this year with the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) and the Quest International Users Group to leverage their collective strengths and host the leading technology and applications forum for the Oracle community — COLLABORATE 09, May 3-7, 2009, in Orlando, Florida. At the IOUG Forum at COLLABORATE 09, you will still experience the same high quality real-world education you're used to receiving at IOUG Live!, but you’ll also be privy to the best practices and user-driven training that each organization offers. As an Oracle professional, you need in-depth comprehensive technical training to increase the performance of your Oracle environment. COLLABORATE 09 brings you the best practices and user-driven training that each user group offers as well as access to the greater Oracle community. Representation at COLLABORATE 09 will include Oracle users, solution providers, consultants, developers and representatives from Oracle Corporation.
