-- COLLABORATE 07: Technology and Applications Forum for the Oracle Community

April 15-19, 2007: COLLABORATE 07, Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay Resort and Convention Center

 

Why attend COLLABORATE 07?


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.

 

Registration is LIVE! Click here to register now.
