Real Connections. Shared Experiences. A Stronger Oracle Cloud Community.

The best insights don’t always come from a presentation. Sometimes, they come from a conversation with someone who’s been exactly where you are.

That’s what makes Oracle Cloud Summit – Virtual, December 8–10, so valuable! More than three days of practical education, it’s an opportunity to connect with fellow Oracle Cloud users, exchange ideas, learn from real customer experiences and discover how other organizations are navigating challenges just like yours.

From AI and Redwood to automation, reporting and continuous innovation, you’ll find relevant learning and a community of peers ready to share what works, what doesn’t and what they’ve learned along the way. It’s the kind of customer-to-customer connection and practical insight that makes the Quest community special.

Better together. Stronger through community. And all from wherever you work!

Early Bird registration ends November 6. Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of it!

Meet Quest’s 2026–2027 Emerging Leaders Cohort

Eighteen professionals from 16 organizations have begun their leadership development journey as part of Quest’s 2026–2027 Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)!

The nine-month program kicked off in Lexington, Kentucky, where participants explored leadership foundations, business acumen, strategic thinking, and executive presence while building relationships with peers from across the Quest community.

Throughout the year, participants will learn from experienced instructors and mentors, strengthen their leadership skills, and collaborate on capstone projects addressing real-world challenges, including building influence without authority and leading through organizational change.

In his latest blog, Quest CEO and ELP Program Director Jon Vaughn introduces this year’s cohort, highlights their Lexington experience, and shares what’s ahead as these emerging leaders prepare for broader responsibilities. Read now to meet the 2026–2027 cohort and learn more about their leadership journey!

Have questions or want to get involved with Quest?

Have questions or want to learn more about Quest and what membership includes? We’re here to help you explore the full community experience and make sure you’re not missing out on opportunities to connect, learn, and grow with peers across Oracle applications.

Quest membership is designed to support ongoing learning and collaboration through peer-to-peer networking at community meetups, virtual webinars, and shared conversations with professionals facing similar challenges and initiatives. Paid members also gain access to 1:1 connections through the member directory, the ability to explore and post roles in the Career Center, and additional community resources that help extend learning beyond events.

Many members tell us the real value comes from being part of the ongoing dialogue—not just attending events, but staying connected to a broader network of practitioners, leaders, and experts throughout the year.
