zSeries Oracle Special Interest Group Conference

Las Vegas NV, April 18-22, 2010

23rd Annual International zSeries Oracle SIG Conference

April 18’th – April 22’nd, 2010

Mandalay Bay Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada

In Conjunction with Oracle Collaborate 2010 and IOUG

Previously, the Annual International zSeries Oracle SIG Conference was a three-day technical user group event (z/OS, Linux on IBM System z), typically attended by approximately 50 customers from around the world. This year it will be held in conjunction with Independent Oracle User’s Group (IOUG) annual conference, Collaborate 2010. This will provide attendees more access to generic Oracle sessions and topics while also providing the standard System z platform specific sessions, System z customer presentations, and networking with key Oracle and IBM personnel for the System z platform.

The IBM System z portion of the conference will start with COLLABORATE’S Special Interest Group Reception Sunday afternoon, April 18th, 2010.

This is a technical conference, with a technical audience that started asMVS (z/OS, OS/390) and has expanded to include Linux on IBM System z. Previous attendees said that they return because of the high quality, valuable information they receive as well as the opportunity to exchange information with others.
