CO19 attendees: Keep in mind that if you want to obtain materials from any of the COLLABORATE sessions conducted by Quest or IOUG, the app (mobile and desktop versions) is the only place to snag those, and that access is available for just one more month. How to tell which sessions are OATUG's and which are others'? The session numbers are the key. Five digits are OATUG. (That's a high five from OATUG!) Fewer digits or more...those are the sessions you can only access through the app.
We are already looking forward to hosting you in 2020! Save the date for #C20LV, April 19-23, 2020, at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Get Updates.
On April 7, Board President Doug Manning announced that OAUG is now the Oracle Applications & Technology Users Group (OATUG) to better convey our ongoing commitment to serve members working in both functional and technology roles. We are so excited about this next chapter in the story of OATUG and hope our excitement extends to you.
Although OAUG is now OATUG, what hasn’t changed since the founding of the users group is the commitment to our members. Let us know how we can continue to help you wrest the most value out of your membership in OATUG, your Oracle applications, and the technology that drives them. (More)
