Oracle OpenWorld had been renamed to Oracle CloudWorld, and it got rebranded to Oracle AI World this year. And we PMs, Alex, Daniel, Rodrigo and myself look forward to see you there. It’s a perfect opportunity to touch base, discuss your migration challenges, your patching fun – and upgrades certainly, too. You not only can grab a sticker for your laptop lid but we’d love to hear about your experiences, wishes and pain points (if there are any) first hand.
And of course, we want you to come to our sessions. As usual, we’ll bring real stuff making your daily life at work easier. Therefore, please find here for Oracle AI World 2025: Your guide to Upgrade, Migration and Patching Sessions.
