EMEA ACEs Attending Oracle OpenWorld: Special Session Opportunity EOUC Database ACES share their Favorite ‘Database’ Things (organized by ACE Director Debra Lilley) Following on from the previous two years' success we are again having an EOUC double session where our Oracle ACEs can have 6 minutes to tell us their favorite database feature. If two or more people select the same feature we will encourage them to talk to each other to ensure they don't duplicate. This session does not provide you with an Oracle OpenWorld conference pass, so if you are not an ACE Director already planning to attend you must be certain you will be there. Please only submit if you do live in the EMEA region and you hold an EMEA passport. Complete the entry form here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/M96TMF5 New Level Numbers on community.oracle.com.
