Get thee to KScope14 in Seattle!

Once again it is that time of year when the who’s-who of Oracle development geekdom gather for their annual festival of education and networking.

Yes it is time for ODTUG’s annual event KScope14 to be held in Seattle,Washington from June 22nd – 26th. As always this is the not-to-be-missed independent Oracle user conference for users by users. This year includes 52 Oracle ACEs and ACE Directors, plus Oracle Corp Product Managers, and a host of other great speakers. Check out the entire list here.

As always there will be ample opportunity to network with the presenters and other attendees including breakfast with the ACEs and the popular Lunch and Learn panel discussions.

If you can make it to Seattle early, lend a helping hand and participate in the Annual KScope Community Service Day. This is the only event of its kind where the user community gathers to give back to the host city. This is now an annual tradition for ODTUG going back to helping in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Then there is the ever popular Special Event on Wednesday night. This year we will visit the world renowned Experience Music Project. (You do not want to miss this!)

As in past years, I will be giving several presentations myself, and running my now-annual Morning Chi Gung classes for those that want to start the day with this ancient Chinese health practice. I will holding these sessions each morning (Sunday – Thursday) at 7 AM.

If you need more convincing, check out ODTUG President Monty’s interview with Oracle Database Insider.

Ready now? Okay, go register here  and you can still get the early discount rate!

See you in Seattle!

#OUGF14 Harmony by @ougf_ry

My buddy, Gurcan, the ODI Guru, did a great summary of the upcoming OUGF conference. I will be speaking there too about using Oracle Data Modeler, Data Vault, and Agile Data Warehousing.

I am looking forward to seeing Gurcan, Heli, and all my fellow Oracle ACEs in Helsinki. And looking forward to my first trip to Finland.

Come join the fun and learning this June.

Data Vault 2.0 Training: Upcoming Public Classes

After my well-attended talk at #EDW14 in Austin this week (which was a GREAT event), a lot of you asked about where you could find a public class on Data Vault 2.0.

At the time I knew of none, but on my drive back home I was talking to Dan Linstedt (inventor of Data Vault) and he had great news for all of us: Dan will be teaching not one, but two public classes this summer!

Woohoo!

So the first one will be for all our friends in Europe. It will be June 2-4 in Helsinki, Finland. This will be a full 3-day Data Vault 2.0 Bootcamp class where you will get all the details on DV 2.0 modeling and methodology. If you want there is even an option to get the coveted CDVP2 after the class via a private certification exam.

This will be the 1st DV 2.0 class in Europe. So if you are in Europe, or have friends there, head over here for more details: http://danlinstedt.com/news/2014dv2bootcampfinland/

Following the class, Dan will be giving a keynote at the Oracle User Group Finland event on June 5-6 (I will be presenting there too!). To find out about OUGF check in over here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ougf-2014-harmony-tickets-10410222255 (scroll down to see the description and the agenda).

For the folks in USA and North America, Dan’s second public class will be  in Cincinnati, Ohio later in the summer. Details on this are not final yet. I will update this post as they become available.

So there you have it – DV 2.0 classes coming your way.

Cheers!

Kent

P.S. If these do not work for you you can always talk to Dan or myself about scheduling a private onsite class for you organization.
