The LAOUG holds quarterly full-day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) conferences at the Norwalk Marriott Hotel in Norwalk, California, just south of Los Angeles off the 5 Freeway.  Conference fees for non-members are $40 per person. However, a $100 annual membership includes all conferences for that calendar year.  Click here for map and address information.  Lunch and refreshments are included in the price of the conference. The conferences typically have four lecture tracks.

Topics for lectures generally fall into one of four categories:

• DBA (Database Administrator)
• Relational Database Design
• Developer Tools (Client Application Development)
• Web Development (Front End for Three Tier Architecture)

Each track is held in its own conference room and normally has four sessions throughout the day; so each conference provides up to sixteen special interest lectures.  Tracks includepresentations tailored to meet the needs of novice Oracle Users as well as experienced Oracle Developers and Database Administrators.

Attendees are not limited to one track; they may attend sessions from different tracks throughout the day.  When you RSVP for a conference, please indicate all the tracks you plan to attend sessions in.

In addition, the LAOUG presents a Vendor Forum, which gives Oracle Users the opportunity to learn about the latest products and services available to Oracle community. Third-party vendors of Oracle related products have booths in the Vendor Forum.

Visit enough vendor booths during the day, have the vendors stamp the card you'll be provided with at registration, and you'll qualify for the drawing for door prizes at the end of the day.

YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN!!!

Following the door prize drawing the LAOUG Board holds a short business meeting.  Any member interested in serving as a volunteer in the operations of the LAOUG is invited to attend.

The LAOUG is run almost entirely by volunteers.
