The next Heartland OUG Conference is quickly approaching and we wanted you to SAVE THE DATE!  Join us Thursday, October 30th, 2014 at Gallup in Omaha.

There will be a prize* for the first 100 members to check in. The schedule is still being set but we want to get this on your calendar. More information and EARLY registration at https://www.eventbrite.com/hougregistration.

This conference is FREE for our users and members.

We are currently accepting vendor sponsorship applications. Abstracts need to be received from both Oracle and Partner Speakers by September 19, 2014. Topics can focus on process, conversion, interface efforts, etc. and can come from the worlds of Applications, Middleware, Business Intelligence or Database.  Email your information to ron@heartlandoug.org or dawn@heartlandoug.org.

If you are new to the Heartland OUG and have never attended a conference, it might be best if we did a quick conference call.

The User Group will be selecting the top 20 presentations for the conference. Not all entries will be selected. Speakers will be notified the week of September 22 if selected. Sponsorship required to present, presentation not required to sponsor.

 Watch this site for all the latest announcements for the group or follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/Heartland_OUG
