Open World 2009 – Updates

I just arrived after a 22 hour long journey to the biggest Oracle conference, Open World. This is my fourth trip to San Francisco but actually my first to Open World. Even before i started, I was pretty sure i would be overwhelmed by the size of this conference. Overwhelmed is too light a word to actually describe this conference!!! I am right now sitting at the Moscone Center West registration area, tired after 5 round trips to Moscone East, West, North and South(yeah all directions!!). Even after the 5 trips, i have not completely come to terms with what exists where.

I have one presentation with Mark this year on BI EE and Essbase Integration. Our session details are here.
