Why should you be there?

There will be something for you at COLLABORATE 08 – in fact, there will be more than one something. Take a look at our list of the reasons to join us:

1.       The networking. It’s great through Quest’s online tools and user group meetings around the country, but there’s no replacement for having thousands of your fellow users right beside you. Simply walk up and ask them a question. We guarantee you’ll get an answer you can use.

2.       There’s only one other conference that delivers this level of access to Oracle, and you’re one of 40,000 there. At COLLABORATE 08, you can go one-on-one with the Oracle professionals who make a difference and hear their plans for the future.

3.       COLLABORATE 08 delivers common sense – a no nonsense approach to education lets us talk about the real problems you’re facing, and deliver solutions that actually work. How do we know? Our education comes directly from users who’ve been there – they submit it and select it.

4.       Establish year-round connections. It’s not just about who you meet for one week – it’s about going home with contacts in your area, using your product or from your industry through our network of user groups around the country and around the world. When you leave COLLABORATE 08, you’ve only just begun to network.

5.       Save money and time. When you learn, you help yourself. When you put what you learn into action, you save your company its three most valuable resources – dollars, hours and your sanity. COLLABORATE 08 delivers the education and resources you need to make your business plan look a lot simpler. And it doesn’t hurt for you to look smarter in the process.

6.       The solutions come to you. Want to compare solution providers, products, information and ask questions without picking up the phone? No problem – a showfloor with more than 200 information booths makes it easy. And you’re bound to find a life-saving product you didn’t know existed.

7.       Be part of the action. User groups are where Oracle turns when it needs feedback. User groups play a huge role in the development of software, enhancements and support. By coming to COLLABORATE 08, you’re automatically part of the process, and you’re going to be heard.

8.       Did we mention receptions and general sessions that are fun, and prizes you can’t wait to brag about? As if you needed another reason to come to COLLABORATE 08, this conference is not exactly boring.

Year after year, COLLABORATE attendees tell us these are their top three reasons for attending:

• To enhance professional skills/knowledge about current solutions
• To learn about new products and/or solutions and services
• To interact with current solutions and services providers
