Greetings to the Database & Technology community!

We’re looking forward to seeing you this May at the Oracle Database Forum at BLUEPRINT 4D in Dallas. The agenda is packed with great opportunities for you to connect with other Oracle experts, including the Oracle development team, the Oracle ACE community as well as many or our customers and partners.

I’ll be presenting on the latest Oracle Database news and developments and you can look forward to a full program of hot topic sessions and Hands-on Labs to help enhance your Oracle knowledge and skills, including:

• Database upgrade best practices and new features in Database 23c
• Protecting your data from ransomware and using zero trust frameworks
• Utilizing cloud or engineered service for innovation and cost reduction
• Data driven development using APEX, low code, and machine learning
• System management and observability through on-premises OEM and cloud based solutions

BLUEPRINT 4D is an ideal opportunity to make connections with other DBAs, data engineers, solutions architects and other technologists, with plenty of informal networking and community engagement activities planned. Networking is a great way to learn more about how Oracle Database technologies are actively being deployed, and I encourage attendees to use the new conference Meeting Maker service to arrange 1:1 meetings with our product experts.

I hope you’ll join us – we look forward to seeing you in Dallas!
