Subject: <Attending Oracle OpenWorld 2015>
With the deadline for saving US$800 coming up quickly, I’d like to get your approval to attend Oracle
OpenWorld this October 25-29, 2015 in San Francisco. There’s no other conference where I’ll have the
opportunity to learn the key information I need to get the most out of our current (and future) Oracle
products and technologies. I’ll have access to experts from around the world—customers, partners, and
Oracle—so I can grow my skills and increase our productivity.
I’ll be able to choose from more than 2,500 sessions, tailoring my schedule to get exactly the information I
need. For example, I plan to focus on:

< Product or technology supporting (name the project) >

< Product or technology supporting (name the project) >

< Product or technology supporting (name the project) >
In addition to sessions, I’ll be able to check out hundreds of Oracle partners, Oracle technology demos
run by the experts who helped build the products, and get hands-on in labs where we can dig into the
details.
Here’s what a few of last year’s attendees said about their experience:

“Everybody is here. You get to meet face to face with a lot of different partners and customers. It has
an incredible energy level.”

“It’s kind of a must do. If you’re in this business, you have to be here.”

“Having all the top Oracle technology experts together in one place gives an unparalleled opportunity
to connect, discuss, challenge, and learn.”

“Nowhere is it possible to communicate and collaborate so intensively with users and developers as
at Oracle OpenWorld.”

“Wow! The best parts were coming across ex-colleagues, bumping into someone I had not seen for
many years, interacting with industry leaders both on- and off-hours—I was literally making
connections all along.”

“Everything Oracle concentrated in one place. It gives me the opportunity to investigate the wide
variety of Oracle products we have implemented.”

“Hands-on labs and speaking directly with product managers was very useful.”

“It provided face-to-face contact with peer professionals using similar technologies. Exactly what our
company needed.”
