Hosted by Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper

Hello, JDE Connection fans! Welcome back to another episode of The JDE Connection with your hosts, Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper, where we take you behind the scenes of Quest’s upcoming BLUEPRINT 4D conference at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, TX. Buckle Up Buckeroos! It’s time to get ready for the JDE Shindig in Big D.

Keynotes & Roadmaps

We’re excited to give our listeners the lowdown for what they can expect to see throughout the week so they can come prepared. Starting with the keynotes on Tuesday highlighting AI’s impact with George Danner, riding the waves of innovation with Oracle JD Edwards and navigating in an uncertain world with Oracle Cloud ERP. After that the fun continues with the Oracle JD Edwards product roadmap sessions.

JD Edwards Product Updates, Customer Sessions, & SIGs

We roll into covering some of the Oracle JD Edwards Product update sessions that are always a hit, hint: AJ and Haiyan are involved! Then, we turn our attention to customer sessions over Wednesday and Thursday that you may want to attend. How could we forget to highlight our session, a LIVE recording of The JDE Connection on Tuesday. We conclude by spotlighting the Quest Special Interest Groups (SIGs) meeting schedule on Wednesday and Thursday, reminding listeners of the importance of participating in the SIGs (e.g. how to get more processing options)!

Executive Forum and Emerging Leader Program

For some, the conference kicks off on Monday with the Executive Forum focusing on how Oracle solution companies can be future ready. We wrap things up with a special announcement of a new Quest program; the Emerging Leader Program. A program that is aimed at developing new leaders in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Midwesternism

We couldn’t miss the opportunity to share some light-hearted advice with our listeners through our Midwesternism of the day.

Looking Forward to Blueprint 4D

We’re not just co-hosts; we’re two friends navigating the vast world of JD Edwards, eager to share our journey with you. We look forward to meeting many of you at BLUEPRINT 4D. It’s going to be an action-packed event, and we can’t wait to bring you all the highlights and insights. Yee-haw!

Until next time, keep learning, sharing and laughing together!
