UKOUG Tech14 Call for Papers ... Better Hurry!!!

Every year I like getting over to England for UKOUG's conference. This year Joel Kallman, Director APEX Development, will be joining Anthony Rayner and myself at the conference.

I have submitted a few sessions for Tech14 and also a session for Apps14, given they are co-located in Liverpool this year. My Apps14 session is on integrating EBS with APEX, a subject that is near and dear, and one that is gaining significant traction among EBS customers.

Tech14 Call for Papers has just been extended until Tuesday, 27th May @ 10:00 am!
For all you procrastinators out there, you have this weekend to crank out a title and abstract and enter it.

I generally extend my trip by a few days and head down to London to visit with customers and partners. Both Joel and myself will be available for meetings Thursday 11th and Friday 12th December. Let me know if you would like to meet with us.

Cheers,
David
