Oracle EMEA Applications Virtual Trade Show - Smart Strategies for New Times

Taking place on November 17, 2009, the Oracle EMEA Applications Virtual Trade Show will allow customers in a virtual conference environment to hear how Oracle Applications can help with strategies for today's new times. Smart companies know that corporate excellence is the new hallmark of competitiveness. That means managing your operations more efficiently, embracing transparency and sustainability in all your business practices, and delivering breakthrough innovation where and when it matters most.

New Times Demand a New Strategy

In the wake of the financial crisis, businesses around the globe are being called upon to redefine their role in society, rebuilding trust and restructuring operations from the ground up to meet our planet's most pressing problems. Join Oracle and Partners for our Virtual Trade show to understand why corporate excellence is redefining competitiveness.

The Presentations
There will be four presentations over two hour-long sessions - so delegates can attend one presentation per session before making use of the networking facilities and chat rooms for the remainder of the event. Presentations will be available On Demand for 3 months after the live event. Presentations will last 30 minutes followed by Q&A for a further 30 minutes.
