Collaborate 17 – Las Vegas, Pythian is Comin’ for Ya!

There are endless reasons to attend the upcoming Collaborate 17 conference (April 2 – April 6).  They include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Three of Oracle’s biggest and most influential users groups are hosting the event (shout out to The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG), Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) and Quest International Users Group !)
• The event will be hosted at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV (need I say more?)
• You’re pretty much guaranteed to expand your professional network (be sure to have your LinkedIn account primed and ready) and,
• You’ll have an amazing opportunity to attend some fantastic sessions, including a few from Pythian!

Attending every session presented by our amazing team of experts is a fantastic (but sadly, scientifically impossible) idea.  For this reason I’ll leave the decision-making process in your capable hands…
