The biggest reason for me to go to these events is meeting others. I really like talking to and having drinks with other passionate users of Oracle technology. It's always interesting to hear about their experience, know the person behind the blog I'm reading or just to come into contact with that one person reading this blog ;-)
If you're at one of the following events and want to meet, drop me a mail or feel free to put a comment on this post:
- March 18-20: European Apex Training Days - London (UK)
- April 13-17: IOUG Collaborate 2008 - Denver, Colorado (US)
- June 15-19: ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008 - New Orleans (US)
- September 21-25: Oracle OpenWorld 2008 - San Francisco (US)
I'm also talking at some smaller events (mostly one day seminars) in the BeNeLux, but the dates are not fixed yet.
Hope to see you at one of the events,
Dimitri
PS: I always like to put a picture in my blog post, but I didn't want to add an obvious one this time. Finally I decided to go for Smeagal (Lord of the Rings), somebody an idea why?

The reason must be that it is a precious privilege to get to go to those conferences.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it Gollum on the picture? :-) He stopped being Smeagol some time after first getting hold of the "precious". Yes, I'm a LOTR freak.
Hi Mathias,
ReplyDeleteYou've a beautiful name!
We chose for our son the same name, although it's written different: Matthias. ;-)
I won't give the answer yet...
Thanks for your comment,
Dimitri
If it turns out that we have enough money in our budget, I'm planning on attending Collaborate, since it's local (I live in the Denver area).
ReplyDeleteCould the picture be because Gollum loved his "precious", and you Apex is your "precious"?
