RE: Call for a featured speaker for St. Louis Oracle Users Gr

We have done something similar at our Ottawa Oracle User group (for our DBA / Developer Day). Over the past few years we have had many excellent speakers come and present. However, in thinking about them, I doubt they would have felt comfortable in responding to this kind of e-mail. (perhaps modesty)

We found that by attending IOUG Live conference and then asking people we had seen present to be a very effective method for getting speakers. I can't recall anyone ever turning us down when approached. If you did not get the response you were expecting frmo the e-mail, perhaps give my approach a try. (or contact me offline for a list of my personal favourites ).

You're right...I should have modified my list to include just "good speakers" as well.
