Bangalore: As Oracle OpenWorld expects to attract 43,000 attendees and deliver 1,800 conference sessions during its September 21 - 25, 2008 conference, the company is leveraging mobile and enterprise 2.0 technologies to help attendees customize their experiences for maximum relevance. Using Oracle Mix, Oracle's business networking technology for bringing Oracle customers, partners, developers and employees together, more than 300 users in the community voted on the sessions they would like to see at this year’s Oracle OpenWorld conference. Oracle Mix is also helping attendees connect and create communities around common interests. This year, the Oracle OpenWorld Blog has started a dialogue about the conference and enables content-area experts and attendees to share insights about all aspects of the conference - from where to stay and things to do in San Francisco to session content. For up-to-the-minute schedule information, Oracle OpenWorld attendees will be able to voluntarily subscribe to a mobile messaging service to receive reminders of their schedule, as well as information on any changed sessions. "As Oracle OpenWorld attendance has grown significantly over recent years, so has the number of sessions and options for our attendees. We see great value in leveraging state-of-the-art technologies to help build communities and navigate the overall conference experience so that each attendee sees return on his or her investment in attending OpenWorld," said Tania Weidick, VP of events marketing, Oracle.
