I'm pleased to advise that the agenda is now online for the NZOUG 2010 Conference in Rotorua, March 15th / 16th.

The lineup of speakers is excellent, including a stack of Oracle Ace Directors:

• Tim Hall
• Chris Muir
• Daniel Morgan
• Franciso Munoz Alvarez
• Robert Freeman

Only a week or so left so register for the conference now, and meet the Aces!

Catch ya!
