I’m late, but as the saying goes, better late than never. I just signed up for Oracle OpenWorld 2006 and purchased the airline ticket last Friday. I will be attending only the Oracle Develop part of it though. I will be flying from PDX to SFO on October 22nd and flying back on the 25th.
I booked the hotel through the Oracle OpenWorld registration. However, Sue was right when she said back in August: “if you’ve not booked your hotel for Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco yet, you’re probably not going to get your first choice”. Indeed, I did not get my first choice. I preferred a hotel closer to the event location (Hilton San Francisco and Moscone Center). Instead, I will be staying in the Hilton Garden Inn, which is fine except that it is 12 miles (~ 19 km) away from downtown San Francisco. Fortunately, Oracle provides complimentary shuttle service between the hotel and Moscone Center.
In addition to the “expert-led, in-depth technical sessions, hands-on labs, advanced how-tos, and detailed tutorials” offered by the Oracle Develop program, I am looking forward to attending the second annual OpenWorld blogger meetup, organized by Mark Rittman. I did not attend last year’s gathering, so, I am looking forward to meeting the people behind the many excellent Oracle blogs.
Here are some of the sessions I’m planning to attend:
Hope to see you there!
