*** PRESENT AND WIN AN APPLE iPOD TOUCH! ***
BIWA is giving an Apple iPOD Touch to the best new presenter. Be part of the TechCast series and get a chance to win! Note that the contest is limited to new presenters, to encourage fresh participation by the BIWA community.
BIWA invites all Oracle professionals (experts, end users, managers, DBAs, developers, data analysts, ISVs, partners, etc.) to submit abstracts for 45 minute technical webcasts to our Oracle BIWA (IOUG SIG) Community in our Wednesday TechCast series. If you are already a BIWA SIG member, click here to submit a BIWA TechCast abstract. If you are not already a member of BIWA, joining is FREE and EASY. Simply click HERE to enter your information and request to become a member of the BIWA SIG. You will be sent an email so you can Login and then submit your abstract.
Our audience is technical so BIWA Wednesday TechCasts presenters are encouraged to include a significant amount of technical detail. Live demos are strongly encouraged. Each BIWA TechCast starting this Spring will be recorded and posted on the BIWA web site for on-demand viewing. TechCasts will be selected based on the interest to the BIWA community of data analysts, business analysts, line of business (LOB) managers, application developers, architects and DBAs.
If your abstract is selected, you will be contacted and invited to present on a Wednesday BIWA TechCast at 12:00 EDT that is convenient to your schedule.
