Path to Better Presentations

Submitted by dbakevlar on Thu, 2017-06-29 18:22

I know you’ve read the title and are thinking, “Great, I’m going to learn how to write better presentations!”  The truth is, it’s about how conferences do call for papers timelines, abstracts, as well as how we manage our content.

Timing Is Everything

Iceland is Awesome….and Colder than Utah

Submitted by dbakevlar on Tue, 2017-03-21 23:46

I ended up speaking at two events this last week.  Now if timezones and flights weren’t enough to confuse someone, I was speaking at both an Oracle AND a SQL Server event- yeah, that’s how I roll these days.

My sabbatical from speaking is about to end in another week and it will return with quite the big bang.

Upcoming Events and The Caffeine

Submitted by dbakevlar on Thu, 2016-07-14 18:14

So some unknowing fool gave me full access to a fridge of Starbucks caffeinated beverages, which should be against the law in this fine country.  Needless to say, my ability to type approximately 180wpm has offered me the opportunity to catch up and blog about what it’s like almost a month in employed with Delphix.

Hotsos 2016 Recap

Submitted by Timur Akhmadeev on Mon, 2016-05-16 18:00

I wanted to go to Hotsos Symposium for quite some time, having heard so many great topics from there for years. And every time I was a bit lazy to think about what I can talk about. Apparently I thought that everything I know is well covered elsewhere, so why would I be accepted. Plus all these complexities of budget, getting a visa, travel arrangements, jet lag, and personal matters in between. Last year, when call for papers was still open, I realized that there’s a good chance I can make it to Hotsos in 2016: I had a budget, visa is a doable thing, and most importantly I knew I had a topic to talk about which most likely will not be in competition with other speakers.

Upcoming Conference Sessions

Submitted by dbakevlar on Mon, 2015-06-22 19:38

I’m glad to be home after a couple weeks in Europe, speaking at both the Harmony 15 conference in beautiful Tallinn, Estonia and then as a keynote speaker at AOUG in lovely Vienna, Austria the week after.  I get to pretty much stay close to home for the next two months, traveling only a bit, but I want to go over the upcoming conferences that I’ll be speaking at the next couple months.

RMOUG 2015 Training Days Review

Submitted by dbakevlar on Tue, 2015-03-03 22:57

I’m at HotSos Symposium 2015 speaking this week, so thought I would blog about the results of the conference I’m the director of and that finished up just two weeks ago.  I’m not admitting to being overwhelmed by OEM questions here, as I’m rather enjoying it.  I love seeing folks so into Enterprise Manager and look forward to more!  Keep the ideas for more blog posts coming!

Collaborate 2015 at the Mandalay in Las Vegas is just around the corner and the sheer amount of Enterprise Manager focused content is phenomenal!  Oracle partners and power users around the world come together each year to provide the lucky attendees the best i

Level of Detail is Hard

Submitted by jonah.harris on Thu, 2014-11-06 08:11

Earlier this week, I attended the 2014 East Coast Oracle Users Conference in Raleigh/Durham, NC. The conference was awesome. It was great meeting new attendees as well as seeing a few of the regular, familiar, faces in our community. That being said, if you’re in the area, I’d certainly recommend attending. Likewise, at the conference, I presented, […]
