DAVID LYLEQuest Chairman of the Board

Oracle users, technologists and decision-makers are encountering new challenges

and opportunities at a faster pace than ever before. Transformational topics such

as Cloud, mobility, security and Big Data add to the complexity. COLLABORATE

16 aims to take the Oracle community on a journey to clarity on these issues and

others, with a destination of greater satisfaction and increased return on product

investments. COLLABORATE is a once-a-year opportunity for members of three

global Oracle users groups (IOUG, OAUG and Quest) to connect with like-minded

professionals and top names and faces in the Oracle community. We are so glad

you have chosen to join us this year!

We know how important it is to keep up with technology trends and stay ahead

of the curve on the latest developments to advance your organizations goals

and your career. As technologists ourselves, we appreciate the value of real-life

applications and best practices in conference education. COLLABORATE 16s

1,250+ education and networking sessions, as well as sessions and keynotes on

the topics of todays global economy, are user-focused and span multiple Oracle

products and industries.

Our week begins with a presentation of the results of an in-depth IOUG, OAUG and

Quest research project that focused on how members view Cloud, mobility, security

and Big Data today, their future plans and their collective concerns. Well find out

how these topics are shaping decisions for todays technology environments.

Everything-as-a-Service has had a significant impact on the economy and

requires exceptional IT leadership and a transformational mindset. On Wednesday

at 1 p.m., Oracle Senior Vice President Shawn Price provides his insight into the

adoption of a Cloud strategy and how to prepare your organization.

This is just a snapshot of the key topics available to dive into at COLLABORATE

16. Truly a creation for and by Oracle users, every element of the conference

experience is a collaboration between volunteers, presenters, exhibitors and

sponsors, all contributing time and expertise to create value for all participants.

Please thank them when you have the opportunity.

Please take time to note and share your experiences. We are committed to

continuing to improve and enhance COLLABORATE, and your feedback makes that

possible. You can complete session evaluations within the mobile app immediately

after attending each education session. Also, keep a close eye on your inboxes for

post-conference surveys and opportunities to share your opinions to help make

COLLABORATE 17 even better.

Have a fantastic week and make the most of this experience!

IBM Keynote

From Science Fiction to Science Fact: How Cognitive Computing and Cloud Transform Your BusinessTim Vanderham, VP Development, IBM Cloud Platform

We have entered a new period of computing history the

cognitive computing era. For decades, science fiction visionaries

have shared their renditions of intelligent machines and computers

that could learn and function as humans. Intelligent machines have

moved beyond the lore of science fiction; today, they are a reality

thanks to breakthroughs in cognitive computing.

This innovative capability is becoming ubiquitous in our everyday lives and fundamentally changing

how we perform our jobs, engage with others, learn and make decisions. You might be tempted

to think that harnessing the power of cognitive computing requires advanced degrees and deep

knowledge of complex algorithms. But, youll be surprised to see the many different ways that

organizations of all shapes and sizes can use cognitive computing as a key driver of transformation.

Opening Keynote

Trends & Technology Shaping Your FutureJoe McKendrick, an independent researcher affiliated with

Database Trends and Applications, a Division of Information Today,

Inc., delivers a thought-provoking presentation on how Cloud,

Mobility, Security and Big Data/Internet of Things are shaping

decisions for todays on-premises environments.

His presentation draws from the results of the recently completed,

in-depth IOUG, OAUG and Quest research project that focused on

identifying how members view these key topics today, their future

plans and their collective concerns.

This kick-off session will set the pace for COLLABORATE 16, spark many conversations over the

course of the conference, and deliver new insights to take back to your organization.
