SPEAKER PROGRAM PERTH AND GOLD COAST

Abstract submissions have now closed.  And because we have received far more abstracts than session slots, we are pleased to be able to bring you the best topics and speakers on Oracle on offer in this country.

The Conference Programs for Perth and Gold Coast are currently being built and will be available shortly at http://www.ausoug.org.au/2020/program.html.  These session details will change slightly over the ensuring weeks so it's best to check regularly to make sure you don't miss out on a great topic or speaker.

WORKSHOPS
Two workshops will be held at Sheraton Perth 8 October and Gold Coast at Crowne Plaza hotel on 15 October.   These are offered as additional to the conference. Currently confirmed are:

1. JDev 11g: presented by Chris Muir, SAGE Computing Services (registration information follows).

2. RAC: presented by Gil Standen, Stillman Real Consulting LLC USA

Both of these presenters are highly skilled and qualified in their fields.  Register for these as soon as the details are available as both the workshops restrict the number of people who can attend.  Your will be able to register via the online registration system or via the registration form available from http://www.ausoug.org.au/2020/registration.html,  which you can fax or email.
