Whether you are a first time attendee or a Collaborate regular, Collaborate 2012 is sure to provide something for everyone. One thing you can be assured of is that by attending the conference you will learn something new. In general, this seems to be the most popular complaint or praise for a conference. Attendees either come away from such events with new knowledge or tips that can be applied directly to their jobs, or are left questioning their attendance/experience because little to nothing new was learned. Rest assured attendees, Fishbowl Solutions is committed to helping you get the most out of your Collaborate experience. Our Collaborate lineup includes 14 sessions, and each session will provide attendees with new and exciting information and specific methods to utilize and extend Oracle WebCenter’s capabilities. We will also be demonstrating some of these methods and capabilities in booth #1178.

The Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG), which is the user group association of which Oracle WebCenter (UCM/Stellent) is a part of, has put together a stellar line up of WebCenter presentations. You can peruse that line up and begin planning your schedule here. Simply select Oracle WebCenter in the drop-down list under Product Lines. To help guide you through the process of setting your schedule while ensuring you do indeed learn something new and applicable, here is a snapshot of Fishbowl sessions grouped by focus initiative and our themes for Collaborate 2012:
