Don't make this your last eNews!
Beginning
in January, we will be sending out two versions of eNews -- one for JD Edwards
customers and one for PeopleSoft customers. The only way to get the version you
need is to have the correct product line checked in your Quest profile.
Updating this information is easy! Sign in to www.questdirect.org, enter your User ID
and Password, click on Edit Preferences
and go to Edit Profile.
Again,
if you don't have a product line checked in your profile, you will miss out on
important information from Quest!
-- 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 or email conferences@questdirect.org.
Why should you register through
Quest?
Quest
education and events at COLLABORATE 07 are for PeopleSoft and JD Edwards users.
Quest's Call for Presentations Deadline has been extended to December 15!
Quest wants
you to be a part of our PeopleSoft and JD Edwards education slate. Submit
your idea for a Quest presentation online. As a customer, if your
session is selected, you'll be given a complimentary conference registration.
We'll also send you email notifications before the conference outlining
everything you need to know, and when you are on-site, you'll have plenty of
time and space to prepare.
Ask Product Executives all of your
unanswered conference questions!
When you make your conference travel reservations, plan
on staying all the way through Thursday - the last time slot on
Thursday (beginning at 12:15 p.m.) is reserved for exclusive Q&A
sessions with Oracle general managers Doris Wong, John Schiff and Lenley
Hensarling. It's the perfect chance to ask them any questions you didn't get
addressed earlier in the week, and go home with even more information!
