First c-level Executive Summit offers unparalleled customer networking opportunities

10th July, 2008: LONDON: - UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG), the independent not for profit membership organisation, who this year celebrates its 25th anniversary, has today announced the launch of the first ‘Executive Summit’, designed exclusively for senior IT Managers, Directors and Senior Managers from UK OUG members.

The one-and-a-half day Executive Summit, held between 1st - 2nd December 2008 during the annual UKOUG 2008 Conference at the Birmingham ICC, will offer IT Leaders a unique opportunity to network, learn and share knowledge and resources examining how IT can support future business requirements from a senior management perspective.

Ronan Miles, chairman of UKOUG comments, “The Executive Summit provides a truly unique opportunity for UKOUG members to influence the thinking and strategy behind future Oracle products and services.  By engaging with senior Oracle management face-to-face, users can directly present their feedback and help guide the future direction of the product roadmap.”

Miles continues, “As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, UKOUG is more committed than ever to listening to all of its members and responding to their needs.  The Executive Summit is a great example of this as senior IT Managers previously told us they rarely have the time or the opportunity to network with peers. What really excites me is the agenda being set by the C level delegates themselves.”

Speakers at the Executive Summit and Annual Conference include Jesper Anderson, Senior Vice President for Oracle Application Development, Jürgen Rottler, Executive Vice President Customer Services and Sergio Giacoletto, Executive Vice President Europe Middle East & Africa.
