Let’s face it – Oracle is a big, big world that extends beyond Hyperion. As we all know, Oracle picked up Hyperion about 7 years ago or so. I’m not as much on that side of the house so I could not be as excited about specific sessions on the traditional side, but I do know many of the speakers personally and professionally. Here is a list of the people I know (trust and respect!) will deliver a quality technical education. I have listed their Twitter handles so you can follow them (mine is @EPM_Queen):
