2020 hasn’t been a great year, with Covid forcing people home and all major events moving from physical to virtual. At the same time, now is the perfect time for attendees: everyone is creating and sharing content via videos, blogs or talks in conferences. People that before had to choose wisely the “1 conference” where to spend their budget on, now can access for free (or reduced fees) content coming from a huge variety of organisations and speakers.

If you read this now and you wanted to submit for ITOUG Tech Days 2020…. well, bad luck, you’re too late! ITOUG Tech Days 2020 was closed last week with an astonishing record of submissions! This post will analyse a bit the numbers of the submissions using the magic Oracle Analytics Cloud. First of all, uploading the data and fixing the column settings. For example, we want to properly convert to Date our Submission Date (Data di invio in Italian).

I’m pleased to announce that, for the first time, a BI/Analytics track will be present at ITOUG! ITOUG, the recently created Italian Oracle User Group, has been so far almost 100% DBA orientated. At the next event, which will be held on 8th June 2017 at UNA Century Hotel in Milan, we are opening a new BI/Analytics streams and looking for speakers. Call for papers is already open, visit http://www.itoug.it for more informations.
