The Oracle Cloud HCM Center of Excellence (COE) team is thrilled to be hosting several exciting events and hands-on workshops at Ascend 2025. These sessions are designed to help you explore the latest innovations in HCM—including Generative AI, AI Agents, and Visual Builder Studio-based personalizations—with expert-led guidance and real-world use cases.

We would love for you to join us during these labs and make the most of this opportunity to learn, build, and innovate alongside other Oracle HCM experts. All participants will be provided access to a demo environment to complete the labs during the session. However, if you prefer to try out these features in your own environment, we encourage you to do so! This enables you to retain access to the work you create even after the event, making it easier to showcase your solutions to your team or continue developing them post-conference.
