Oracle on Windows events

Throughout the year, there are a number of events that will interest Oracle on Windows developers.  A good number are open Oracle events.  These are generally held at the Oracle Thames Valley Park offices in Reading or their London City offices but a considerable number are hosted in major UK cities such as Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester.  Oracle also runs events for signed up partners. 

Microsoft  holds frequent events for .NET developers and these also tend to be held at Thames Valley Park but again, some are nationwide events.

O-Zone will help keep you informed of these events, including those being hosted by the UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG) which has special interest groups for 'Oracle on Windows' and 'Oracle and .NET'.  The UKOUG events are generally for members only but this is not always the case.  From time to time, other third party events are held and O-Zone will keep you informed of these.  Registered members are kept up to date via the monthly O-Zone newsletter.  If necessary, please update your profile so that you receive this.
