Hosts Successful Spring Conference

On February 24, 2012, the Ohio Valley OAUG held its annual spring conference at Crossroads conference center in Cincinnati, OH. The event featured keynote speaker Brian Wells, a former Procter & Gamble executive and current television movie producer, sharing his insight on how principles of Hollywood story-telling parallel our daily lives, both personally and professionally. Following his presentation, the conference hosted three Oracle Applications tracks in parallel:  E-Business Suite, Hyperion and a newly introduced CRM track. In total, the agenda included nine presentations and one roundtable discussion. Nearly 100 interested professionals attended the event, making it one of the highest-attended OVOAUG events in recent years. The event was sponsored by Analysis Express, AXIA Consulting, Bakerfield Solutions, Crown Partners and eVerge. More information, including speaker  presentations, may be found on the Ohio Valley OAUG website.
