We are glad to announce that the Oracle ACE Program has been relaunched as a bigger, better, and stronger community program than ever before! The new and improved ACE Program adds more benefits, broadens the community, and fosters the next generation for success.

What is the Oracle ACE program?

The Oracle ACE Program is an Oracle community program that recognizes and rewards technical experts and community leaders for sharing their knowledge and passion for Oracle Cloud Services and Oracle technologies with the community. It has been in existence for over 15 years and ever since been a worldwide sought-after technical community. The program supports and fosters strong community growth, enables its members to demonstrate their skills and knowledge, and encourages collaboration, mentoring, and diversity within the program.

The members of the program, Oracle ACEs, are bloggers, speakers, YouTubers, podcasters, mentors, and many more, eager to engage with like-minded people and always curious about the products, services and solutions that Oracle offers. Oracle ACEs are active in the community; helping to find answers and are always willing to go the extra mile.  

NEW! To further recognize the important work of bringing the community together, community leaders who organize conferences or meetups around Oracle technologies, volunteer in leadership positions in Oracle User Groups, write or produce community newsletters and more, are now eligible to be part the Oracle ACE Program as well!

The Oracle ACE Award levels

The Oracle ACE program supports community advocates and helps them expand their knowledge and build their reputations. The Oracle ACE award is given for a one-year term. Members are eligible to receive the award for consecutive terms based on their continued contributions in the community. The program is comprised of three levels: Oracle ACE Associate, Oracle ACE Pro, and Oracle ACE Director. These award levels help to equally recognize newcomers to the community or people with less time to contribute just as much as people with many years of service to the community.

For more information, see ACE award levels.
