Essbase Developers Find a Home at ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008
Click here to register.
Oracle Essbase developers have been wondering what conference will replace the technical content of Hyperion Top Gun and the breadth of presentations of the Hyperion Solutions conference. Kaleidoscope 2008, brought to you by the Oracle Development Tools User Group, is proud to offer a dream agenda of hard-core Essbase information
brought to you by some of the most senior Essbase gurus from Oracle, partners, and customers alike.
The first day of the conference will be a full day Developers Symposium hosted by Al Marciante, senior director of product management at Oracle. The day will begin with a keynote by Robert Gersten, former Hyperion chief development officer and current Oracle SVP of development of enterprise performance management and BI, talking about the future of Essbase within Oracle. It will continue on with multiple sessions o n the new aspects of the "Kennedy release" of Essbase from the developers themselves. The day will conclude with a presentation on what's beyond Kennedy and an Oracle-staffed panel where customers and partners can ask questions of the developers directly.
John Kopcke, former Hyperion CTO and current SVP of Oracle's BI and EPM global business unit, will provide the keynote on Monday highlighting where Essbase fits into a company's overall EPM strategy. Monday will focus on large-scale implementations of Essbase (including classes on MDX and converting from Block Storage Essbase cubes to Aggregate Storage). Tuesday will cover Programming Essbase topics (APIs, Calc Scripts, MaxL, SmartSpace, Java, and more). |

Wednesday will be devoted entirely to optimizing Essbase cubes, and since we have the entire day for optimization, our presenters will go beyond the standard tips and tricks you've heard over and over again.
Thursday will close with presentations on installation issues surrounding Essbase in both simple and enterprise-wide deployments.
If you want to attend more than 30 hours of deep-dive technical information that will take your Essbase knowledge to the next level, you don't want to miss this conference.
Space may be limited to the first 150 registrants, so if you are a developer or maintainer of Essbase cubes, don't wait to register.
This type of line-up comes along only once in a lifetime.
