Share Your Oracle Cloud Story at Oracle Cloud Summit – Virtual!

The Oracle Cloud Summit – Virtual Call for Presentations is now open! Have a success story, best practice, or innovative solution to share? Then join us December 8-10, 2026, for this virtual event! Speaking is a great way to showcase your expertise, grow your professional network, and help fellow Oracle Cloud users tackle real-world challenges. We’re especially looking for sessions covering Redwood, AI & Agentic AI, Release 26C, Release 26D, Analytics, Cloud 101, and Automation. Submit your abstract by September 14 and help shape this year’s education program!

This isn’t a webinar…

It’s a six-week cohort where you’ll practice the skills that help ideas gain traction and leaders create momentum.

One of the things that makes this cohort unique is the opportunity to learn directly from Chris Laping, who has spent decades leading organizations, coaching executives, and helping professionals understand the human side of influence, trust, and leadership.

Join us August 13 for the last info session before the September cohort begins. Save your seat now!
