I just returned from the Hotsos Clinic, so that is a big MUST ATTEND!!!!
In terms of shows/conferences, #1 will be the Hotsos Symposium in March.
(www.hotsos.com). If I have to choose between this and IOUG, Hotsos wins hands down.
My #2 is RMOUG Training Days (www.rmoug.org) in February. It is held in Denver for 2
days and draws a few of the bests (including several of the top contributors to this
list). Granted, I'm biased (I live here in Denver), but the $$$s are good (less than
$400 for both days) and the speakers are excellent. Check out the local Oracle User
Groups because they often have some top notch meetings that are easy to attend and
afford.
