-- COLLABORATE 07: Technology and
Applications Forum for the Oracle Community
April 15-19, 2007: COLLABORATE 07,
Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay Resort and Convention Center
Conferences don't get any better than this user driven, user led event. Quest
has a history of strong education and events -- take
it from users who registered through us last year! Producing COLLABORATE 07
in conjunction with the Independent Oracle Users Group and the Oracle
Applications Users Group ensures we have strong Oracle participation, including
Oracle President Charles Phillips in one of our keynote addresses. Want more?
Oracle chose COLLABORATE last year as the spot to announce its Applications
Unlimited program -- proof that COLLABORATE is the best place to get
information that matters about the PeopleSoft and JD Edwards products you're
using today.
Bring
your group!
Is your company planning on sending four or more attendees to COLLABORATE
07? Does your company have a Quest corporate membership? All Quest
corporate members can save $200 per attendee by registering through
our Group Program, a special promotion not part of online
registration. Please note that the group rate cannot be combined with any other registration promotion. To
participate, look for the Group Program form online beginning November 3 or

Why should you register through
Quest?
Quest
education and events at COLLABORATE 07 are for PeopleSoft and JD Edwards users.
