#orclapex Europe tour

Von Tobias Arnhold → 8.16.2017
From Tuesday, the 29. of August until the 02. September, I will meet the best experts around Oracle.





But first some background:
Last year I was in Sweden and held a presentation at a meetup in Stockholm about APEX. I met Mathias Magnusson an Oracle specialist who is organizing all kinds of Oracle usergroup events in Sweden. I was lucky to meet him again at DOAG 2017 and introduced him to Joel Kallman. During the discussion came the idea to make an APEX day in Sweden. Mathias prepared everything and invited some well-known experts who may join the party as speakers. In the email, he also was asking Heli Helskyaho. She is one of the world most known speaker about Oracle related technology at the moment.
She liked the idea to join in and asked if we could combine it. One event in Helsinki (Finland) and one in Stockholm (Sweden). And that is not all. Mathias put the date of the event shortly before the POUG in Poland. Conclusion: My Oracle #orclapex Europe tour was set up.
Out of my perspective the Nordic APEX days should look like this: 
We need to show the people what APEX can do and how it is used in production. If an Oracle employee or a consultant is talking about how great the tool is then maybe not everyone will believe it. So, I asked the experts from Deutsche Bahn (SmallSolutions-Team) to join the party and they did!

So, this is what happens now:
    1. Monday I will fly to Helsinki with Richard from Deutsche Bahn. Last preparations with Matthias and Richard (SmallSolutions-Team) for the event.
    1. Having the Oracle/Miracle APEX-Day in Helsinki (Finland): Oracle / Miracle APEX - Day
      1. Including nice talks with Heli, Carsten, Shakeeb and hopefully a lot of APEX interested end users.
    1. After the day we will take the cruiser ship over night to Stockholm including some drinks and talks and "Finnish Tango".
    1. Having the SWEOUG APEX day in Stockholm (Sweden): #SweougApex17
      1. Including nice talks with Patrick, Mathias and hopefully a lot of APEX interested end users. Hopefully a couple of beers in the evening.
    1. Next morning take the plain to Berlin and preparing with Matthias (Small Solutions-Team) for POUG
    1. Meet the students at Berlin main station and take the rented bus to POUG in Kraków.
    1. Getting to know the student group including some activities during the bus trip.
    1. Hotel check-in and dinner with the students
    1. POUG conference starts: #POUG17

Let me say it in short words:
