I don't know where you guys were but material presented during some of the sessions was immensely valuable. Larry Carpenter's Data Guard presentations, the presentations on 11g Streams, AQ, and RMAN. If you missed them you missed some real value. The RAC Pack's sessions too.

And for the 45,000+ of you that missed Mary Ann Davidson's session in the OTN Lounge on the third-floor of Moscone West. C'est dommage. This is as close as you'll get. <g>
