Re: IOUW 1996

Could you please give us some info as to Oracle's planned participation in this conferences?

• Will they be sponsoring campgrounds?
• Will they be on the show floor?
• Will there be major product presentations by Oracle?
• Will they be participating in the technical program?

I have found the last three conferences to be of great benefit because of BOTH the user-group AND the Oracle portions. I hope that both portions will continue to be available.
