Collaborate 09 - Wrapup

The Oracle users Collaborate 09 was an absolutely fantastic technical conference. The presentations were exceptional in their quality. This conference was invaluable for networking and the discussions with Oracle user industry leaders from around the world. The discussions, insights and perceptions that were discussed every night were in my opinion even more valuable that the technical presentations. The presentations, podcasts and recordings will be available for two weeks following the conference.

It's now on to Java One and Oracle Open World.
