There was a bit of silence on the blog – well, I needed a deep breath and plenty of fresh air on the most beautiful German island. And now it’s time to dig in again. And I realized that I won’t have many “office” days this month. September is CONFERENCE month – back to reality.
POUG – Polish Oracle User Group 2019 in Wrozlaw
When? September 6-7, 2019
Where? Wrozlaw, Poland – Kino Home Horyzonty
Why? Because if you’ve never been there, you won’t understand why everybody wants to be there. Check out the agenda: https://poug.org/en/edycja/poug-2019/ – in two days you will learn more than in the past months on your job. Whether you enjoy having sex with the optimizer or just learn who serves the best beer or simply need to understand why you shouldn’t mess up with Chuck Norris (Sept 7 – 16:00h – Being Smarter Than Chuck Norris – Fallback Strategies Live in Action), you should grab your ticket now. By the way, there are direct flights from Munich as well – and keep your fingers crossed that we’ll arrive as The Berg is on board as well bringing weird card games.
OOW – Oracle Open World 2019 in San Francisco
When? September 16-19, 2019
