History
Make your case
If you've attended a UK Oracle User Group conference before, you know it's the most important educational and networking event in the UK of the year for Oracle technologists, customers, and partners. UKOUG 2012 is the UK's largest Oracle Technology & E-Business Suite conference and the only conference that goes this deep and wide with Oracle technology, providing hundreds of sessions and user stories geared toward helping your company get better results with the technology it has—and plan strategically for the technology it will need to keep ahead of the competition in the years to come.
So it should be easy to justify the cost of attendance. The new skills, new connections, and new ideas for extending the value of your company's IT investments more than justify the time and expense required for three days of unparalleled learning. Need a concrete document to make the case to management? Download the justification letter below, customise it for your particular company and strategic objectives, submit the letter to your management, and prepare to pack your bags for UKOUG 2012.

What delegates have to say
“The UKOUG Oracle User Group is a must for us! The knowledge shared by delegates has proven to be crucial within their respective organisations." Heather MacNeill, InsightSoftware.com
“The UKOUG conference is both a fantastic educational event and a great opportunity to share knowledge and experience with fellow Oracle professionals.” Patrick Hurley, Database Administrator at Nominet
“The annual conference has always been a useful event for Mokum simply because it enables us to meet new customers, whilst at the same time it also provides an excellent platform for helping to cement the strong relationships we already have in place with our existing clients." Matt Hallett, Mokum
"PureApps joined UKOUG when Hyperion became part of Oracle and we have found access to the wider Oracle user audience has been well managed by UKOUG. As Oracle’s Specialist Applications Partner of the Year, we have embraced the opportunities to network and present our company’s unique, full service provider proposition at the Conferences and Special Interest Groups. We will continue to support UKOUG as the value we attain from being a member is excellent." Nick Wyatt, Managing Director, PureApps
"I really enjoy speaking at UKOUG conferences, it’s good exposure for my organisation and helps me to improve my reputation. I do it in order to communicate ideas and help Oracle professionals to make better use of their Oracle software. It forces me to keep up to date and try new things. It’s great to be a part of one of the world’s best Oracle conferences." Carl Dudley, Oracle Professor of Database Technology, University of Wolverhampton
"Oracle is excited to be a part of the flagship Oracle user event. Our presence at UKOUG Conference 2011 demonstrates Oracle’s commitment to helping its customers get the most from their engineered systems. We will be bringing speakers fresh from OpenWorld 2011 to deliver to UK customers the latest product news, developments, demos and more." David Callaghan, Senior Vice President for Oracle UK
“I first became involved with UKOUG in 1996 – right away I realised the group had its finger on the pulse of what users actually want from their Oracle investments. Presenting at the conference has given me a chance to share what we’ve learnt through hard experience, helping others to tread an easier path.” Dev Nayak, DSP Managed Services
The process of putting together the agenda starts in April with the 'call for papers', where we ask members of the Oracle community to submit a presentation idea in the form of an abstract. These abstracts are then voted upon by a group of over 60 judges, and their results are fed to a Conference agenda committee with representatives for each of the main topic areas. It is the Conference agenda committee's responsibility to produce an agenda that will give most value to our attendees. The chosen speakers are then confirmed in the summer and we are ready to publish the agenda in September. This years agenda will be revealed on 17th September.
UKOUG 2012 will run over three days with a choice of more than 250 presentations covering a spectrum of topics critical for the Oracle Technology & E-Business Suite user as well as two streams of content for the PeopleSoft user.
The UKOUG 2012 exhibition has room for over 60 stands. There will be a host of Oracle Suppliers showcasing a variety of Oracle related products and services for the Oracle Technology & E-Business Suite users, if you are thinking of doing some Oracle supplier research this is the place to do it.
