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:
- Monday I will fly to Helsinki with Richard from Deutsche Bahn. Last preparations with Matthias and Richard (SmallSolutions-Team) for the event.
- Having the Oracle/Miracle APEX-Day in Helsinki (Finland): Oracle / Miracle APEX - Day
- Including nice talks with Heli, Carsten, Shakeeb and hopefully a lot of APEX interested end users.
- After the day we will take the cruiser ship over night to Stockholm including some drinks and talks and "Finnish Tango".
- Having the SWEOUG APEX day in Stockholm (Sweden): #SweougApex17
- Including nice talks with Patrick, Mathias and hopefully a lot of APEX interested end users. Hopefully a couple of beers in the evening.
- Next morning take the plain to Berlin and preparing with Matthias (Small Solutions-Team) for POUG
- Meet the students at Berlin main station and take the rented bus to POUG in Kraków.
- Getting to know the student group including some activities during the bus trip.
- Hotel check-in and dinner with the students
- POUG conference starts: #POUG17
- Including to meet the best Oracle database experts and get the students to meet them and drink a few beers with Kamil.
- POUG Party
- POUG conference second day
- Evening dinner and taking the bus home
Let me say
it in short words:
3 conferences, holding 3 presentations, meeting lots
of experts and meeting even more new faces!
