#Ascend2022 Ascend 2022 Networking Opportunity Events

Where I can keep track of the special events (note: these are not “parties” as so many people are misled to believe) at Ascend June 12-15, 2022 – Las Vegas, NV). To attend one of these events:

  1. You’re registered as an Ascend Attendee.
  2. You’re either a prospect, customer, or goodwill contact for the host.
  3. You visit the host’s booth at Ascend to pick up whatever is required for entry.
  4. Do not just show up at the event and attempt to “crash” it – just spend your time at a regular #Ascend2022 reception the same evening, and you’ll still get plenty of party time.

My #Ascend2022 sessions for this year:

An extra addendum (NOT related to #Ascend2022):

  • DWS Customer Appreciation, Mon (6/6/2022) 6:30-8:30p, TopGolf

Where I can keep track of the special events (note: these are not “parties” as so many people are misled to believe – you should expect to be contacted by dozens of sales and account professionals at each event) at OOW.  To attend one of these events:

  1. You’re registered as an OpenWorld Attendee.
  2. You’re either a prospect, customer, or goodwill contact for the host. That means you actually contact the host and ask to attend before OOW.
  3. You visit the host’s booth at OpenWorld in order to pick up whatever is required for entry and get to know what the host actually does.
  4. Do not just show up at the event and attempt to “crash” it – fair warning. You will be sold Oracle products and consulting, and like it, and start telling all your friends about it and be assimilated.

From 2016 – still being confirmed:
