Public Appearances

10^th June	Webinar: I’ll be repeating my presentation ”Smarter Statistics in 11g”. The sessions will be at 6:00 pm BST (biased towards the US East Coast), and 9:00 pm BST (biased towards the US west coast). Places will be limited to 100 – but if the demand is high enough I will do further repeats at a later date. Details of how to register will be posted in a couple of days’ time.
11^th – 12^th July	UK / Web: (provisional) I will be delivering my tutorial Indexing Strategies as a “Live Virtual Class” spread over two days. The event is being arranged by Oracle Education. Registration and timing details to follow.
1^st – 10^th Aug	Latin America: (provisional) I will be taking part in the southern half of the LA OTN Tour covering: Chile 01/08, Peru 03/08, Uruguay 06/08, Argentina 08/08, and Brazil 10/08
12^th – 13^th Sep	UK/WWW: Oracle University have asked me to present “Beating the Oracle Optimizer” as a live virtual class (LVC) spread over two days. Details to follow
22^nd – 25^th Sep	San Francisco: (provisional) I’ve put in a couple of abstracts for Open World – waiting to see if they’ve been accepted. A couple about statistics, one about partitioning – all 12c, of course.
26^th – 27^th Sept	Minneapolis, USA: I will be presenting a new two-day tutorial which is a verbal update on the classic “Practical Oracle 8i”. The focus of the course is on the different physical structures available in an Oracle database that can allow you to minimise house-keeping overheads and maximise performance. If you attend this course you will be better equipped to recognise how to do things behind the scenes to make your Oracle systems operate more efficiently. This trip is being arranged by John Goodhue of SpeakTech.
15^th Oct	Bratislava, Slovakia: (provisional) I’ll be presenting the tutorial Beating the Oracle Optimizer. This event is being run by Oracle University under their Celebrity Seminar series; details at this URL.
25^th – 26^th Oct	Beijing, China: (provisional) I’ve been invited to take part in the All China Oracle User Group conference. I may only be able to get there for the sessions in Beijing, although the tour is going on to a couple of other major cities.

- Lovell,
  
  No plans, although I have dropped in a couple of times over the last few years; but it tends to be a short trip while I’m doing something else.
  Maybe the next time I’m working in NY I could hop across the border for a few hours. (That’s how I managed to fit in a couple of sessions with the user group in Vancouver – I think one was day trip between my speaking sessions at OpenWorld, another was a day trip up from a gig I was doing in Seattle.)

Hello Jonathan,

I would really like you to visit us in Morocco, because we really need you to seminars.

Sincerely,

  Whereabouts in Morocco – I visit Gibraltar from time to time, and Tangier is just the other side of the straits.
  Maybe you could get your local Oracle Rep to persuade Oracle University to do something there.

  It’s been a couple of years since I attended AIOUG – I’m trying to reduce the number of long-haul flights I take each year, but maybe it’s about time I asked the ACE program if they would sponsor me to appear at AIOUG again.

Jonathan -

Just want to say I loved your course on Indexes at Thompson Reuters in Eagan Minnesota! I do wish you come back next this year (2013) for more seminars.

  Thanks for the comment.
  
  Your wish is granted, by the way; I’ve just posted details of a couple of new courses I’ve just finished designing, and a couple of provisional dates for running them in Minneapolis. (Over the next few weeks we’ll be trying to set up a timetable for a few more visits for these, and the other courses, across the USA for the rest of the year.)

Hi Jonathan,

I really enjoyed your course last year. Do you have plan to come to Dallas area in Texas sometime in 2013?

  Thanks for the comment.
  
  I don’t have any plans for Texas at present – but I’ve got a couple of days pencilled in for Minneapolis at the end of September, so I’ll be looking at finding a couple more days elsewhere while I’m in the USA – it’s too far to travel for just two days – so I’m open to suggestions.
