I am going to Collaborate07 but my backup DBA is going to Open World. Open World is conducted by Oracle Corporation. Collaborate07 is organized and ran by user groups and the sessions should be technical oriented instead of sales. I think I heard that ODTUG is going to be part of the conference this year. I am a little prejudice since I am on the IOUG conference committee. This years Collaborate conference was the first time that IOUG, OAUG, and Quest (PeopleSoft, JD Edwards) held a conference together. There were lessons learned and suggestions from attendees that will be applied to the upcoming Collaborate 07.
