Advert of sorts: Canada, UKOUG, Chile, Peru, Poland...
For all events between now and the end of the year, my speaking schedule is published on asktom.oracle.com. This post hi-lights the "international" (for me, if you live there - it is local of course...) trips I'll be doing. You can see all of the US only trips on asktom as well - and there are quite a few (Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Reston VA, Baltimore, San Francisco, Saint Louis, Richmond VA, Birmingham AL - to name a few).
I'm frequently asked "how often am I on the road" - the question behind the question being "how do you get to keep up with the database and stay hands on". I travel exactly 50% of the time - one week on, one week off. I'm getting ready for a week "on" right now. I spend the other 50% working locally (mostly at home) with the database and customers - preparing new material, getting caught up on questions on asktom and the like. From time to time - since they will not move events like Oracle OpenWorld to accommodate my schedule - I travel two weeks and stay off the road for two weeks. One of those "two weeks - no travel" is coming up and I'm very much looking forward to that.
Anyway - to the schedule and links to what's happening...
I'll be in Canada quite a few times this year - three times this week (Quebec, Toronto and Montreal). I'll be back in Canada - a little further west and a lot further north - in November for the ICE conference in Edmonton. I get back to Toronto (for the local user group) again in November as well.
I'll be hitting Chile and Peru in South America in November - again looking forward to that as I've never been down there at all. The user group events are something I really enjoy (more than a seminar - those are very very tiring to deliver. Physically tiring) and getting out to a place I've never been is always interesting.
After that - I'm off to the UKOUG. I've presented there many times now and always look forward to the event in Birmingham. A good time to catch up with a lot of people and much like IOUG in the US - it is a highly technical conference. Every single session is delivered by people using the Oracle software, and mostly delivered by people that use the Oracle software every single day. A lot of hands on knowledge is transferred. Always looking forward to that conference.
My last trip out of the US in 2009 will be to Warsaw, Poland right after the UKOUG. I'll be delivering a two day seminar there. I won't have much time to look around unfortunately as I fly in late Tuesday night from the UK and leave early Friday morning for home. I'll have to have a nice dinner or two out though to get a feel for the city.
Into the first half of 2010 - I'll be hitting places such as Croatia, Tokyo, Moscow, Hungary, two cities in South Africa, the Baltics and Turkey... More details on those to follow...
