Confirmed - I'll be there Monday and Tuesday if anyone wants to meet up.
Also, if anyone is interested in going and doesn't have UKOUG membership, I might have a spare invite (which since they cost £200+ for the day!) if you want.

When I first joined Oracle, and no-one knew who they were really, I just used to tell people that I was responsible for page 118 - now and next TV listings. It was much easier, and less sad, than admitting what I really did for a living.

I went to a users group meeting once (for a different technology).
I wish I hadn't bothered
A couple of hastily prepared power point presentations by MVPs, one of which was badly cribbed from a book he didn't help to write. The MVP's seemed to have no concept of time which did them no favours what so ever.
Lots of geeks with beards wearing black t-shirts
Luckily it was free. Although this did mean having to sit through a presentation by a sponser however this was offset by the sponser giving a decent and concise presentation on the product they were trying sell.
As for networking... hiring managers typically don't go to usergroups, they send the people they hire to them.

UK Oracle User Group - anyone going?
Anyone doing the UKOUG Technology and eBusiness Suite conference series at the end of the month?
I'm contemplating going - haven't decided whether it will just be a waste of my money, or a good networking opportunity and chance to maybe get some CVs / business cards out there and find some new work.Tags: None
