Key Happenings on the First Day of Oracle OpenWorld 2018
Today was a gorgeous day in San Francisco. The temperature was in the mid-60’s, the sun was shining, and there was a light breeze. The forecast is for similar weather all week – just in time for Oracle OpenWorld 2018. I flew in to cloud cover, but it burned off between baggage, finding my ride, and the drive from SFO to the city. I made my way to the convention center and the hustle is on!
It’s remarkable how the expanse of Moscone South can transform from an empty hall to the booming venue that tomorrow will be The Exchange – and I thought SFO was a busy place.
Monday, October 22, is the first day of Oracle OpenWorld and there are several key things you’ll want to do…
Register. If you haven’t already, use the advance check-in option. It’s a breeze.
Sign-up for Sessions. Be sure to register for the ones you must attend to be sure to have a seat. Here are some links to help you finish building your Monday schedule:

As you exit The Arena at 4:45, you conveniently have to walk by the Infrastructure Technologies showcase, #120. Take a few minutes to see what’s going on. If the demos and product experts don’t keep you enthralled, the VR game will. Apparently, shooting widgets with a bow and arrow in VR is a lot of fun – hope you’ll give it a try – you could win a prize.
