In a few weeks I’ll be heading to Las Vegas for a few days of relaxation and fun.  Well, really I’ll be working, but it will still be fun!

As always, I’ve got a busy schedule planned.  Here’s where you can find me over the week if you’re attending (there will be more but this is what I know now!):

Sunday 4/12

9-12p – Everything I Needed to Know About Enterprise Manager I Learned at COLLABORATE – Hands-on Lab

This should be fun.  Three hours w/ myself, Kellyn and Werner.  We may not stay on topic, but I can promise you’ll learn something new!

Monday 4/13

9:15-10:15 – Zero to Manageability in One Hour: Build a Solid Foundation for Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c

Learn how to properly plan, architect and implement EM12c, and how to setup the monitoring framework (roles, users, groups, templates, etc).

5:30-8:00 – Welcome Reception in Exhibit Hall at EM booth

Tuesday 4/14

5:30-7:00 – Happy Hour in Exhibit Hall at EM booth

Thursday 4/16

11:00-12:00 – Under the Hood of Enterprise Manager – A Troubleshooting Primer

Really, this is Werner’s session not mine.  But if you’ve never heard him talk about EM, you’re missing out.  Learn how to troubleshoot your EM system and find out what it’s doing.

12:15-1:15 – Smarter Monitoring with Adaptive Thresholds and Time Based Metrics

Then just stay seated for my talk on advancing your monitoring with adaptive and time based thresholds, metric extensions and more.

There are many more EM sessions and I’ll be trying to hit as many as I can!   Here’s the full list and hours for the EM demo booth.

If you can’t make it to Las Vegas, take a look at Collaborates Plug-in to Vegas option!  For a registration fee of $395, you get access to sessions from the top 3 tracks – Cloud Computing, Database Performance and Manageability.  Sessions are broadcast live online. If you’re interested in EM12c, there’s quite a line up of sessions available, including mine!
