Thursday was the day for building the agenda for the UKOUG Technology and E-Business conference.
Last year we had a conference that lasted five days and covered every product that Oracle owned. This year we’re running a series of seven separate conferences covering different areas of Oracle’s offerings; so the Tech and EBS event is back to the three day event we always used to hold in Nov/Dec.
You would have thought that this would make it easier to produce the agenda – but we had about 640 abstracts for about 200 time slots; and in my particular stream (“Server Technology”) I think we had more than 200 abstracts for 55 slots – so if you’ve got in, you’ve done very well. (There are other “Tech” streams, including development tools, Apex, Middleware and so on).
