Two great California Oracle user group events this week

There are two superb Oracle user group events this week, one in the San Francisco Bay area and another in Los Angeles. I'm flying-out to speak at both conferences and I join a group of respected Oracle teachers with some great technical topics. These are fantastic opportunities to learn advanced Oracle from the top Guru's while networking with fellow Oracle professionals:

Northern California Oracle Users Group - NoCOUG Spring Conference 2007 at Lockheed in Sunnyvale - This is a great conference featuring Steve Feuerstein, Don Burleson, Matt Larson, George Trujillo and other notables.
Los Angeles Oracle Users Group Spring Conference - The LAOUG spring 2007 conference features great technical topics for both DBA's and developers. Janet Burleson will also present her popular presentation on how to Ace your Oracle job interview.
