OTN Tour LAD - Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala

By Mike Dietrich-Oracle on Jul 21, 2016

OTN Tour Latin America 2016 is ready to take off

And for me it's the first time in 4 years that I won't be able to participate. Which is very sad as it is such a great thing to meet all these wonderful people, not only from the User Groups doing all the orga stuff but also discussing with customers, learning from skilled and knowledgeable co-presenters, the entire travel, the wonderful cities ... I miss this already. Maybe next year ...

Nevertheless, the Database Upgrade team will present - and thanks to the tour organizers for accepting the talks of Byron and Hector, two of my team mates based in Mexico. And of course they will present in Spanish
