About The Oracle OpenWorld 2008 Unconference

For the second year in a row at Oracle OpenWorld, attendees will have the opportunity to directly participate by presenting their own session or workshop on a topic they're passionate about, in an informal, interactive setting.
Simply add your name and topic on the Unconference schedule below. Or, you may add your session to the agenda whiteboard at the OTN Lounge in Moscone West 3rd Floor during the conference; one room will be reserved for onsite signups. Then show up at the appointed time and place with your laptop and presentation (projector and screen provided by us), and the floor is yours! Audience interaction and discussion are encouraged.

The Oracle OpenWorld Unconference is more than a great opportunity for would-be presenters to share their knowledge and experience with other attendees in an informal setting. It also offers attendees the ability to learn what's on the minds of the community, directly from the grass roots.

For more information, read the "What to Expect" page.
