Free Disaster Recovery Seminars

Negative Footnote:
TechTarget declined my registration for the DR event, which is no biggie, but they have repeatedly refused to explain why. In my second query, I told them I had published this and other TechTarget events and I needed to know more about who was qualified and who was not.

TechTarget remains silent. So I can no longer assume most of you, my readers, will be viewed as qualified. -- Howard

TechTarget invites us to "Disaster Recovery Planning: Data Protection and Rapid Recovery Techniques," coming to San Francisco the week after Labor Day. They say you'll get several new approaches to DR that your organization will be able to apply immediately.

When: Tuesday, September 9 - other dates and locations off reg link
Where: Hyatt Regency San Francisco

The Developer Conference for the Oracle Platform will run in parallel to Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco. Oracle Develop will feature keynotes, 130 technical sessions, and 75 hands-on labs . It will also include what used to be what used to be BEA World, which may be one reason that Oracle OpenWorld has moved from November to September.
