BI Meetup at Open World San Francisco?
August 2nd, 2009 by Mark Rittman
UPDATE : The venue has now changed to Johnny Foleys, in O’Farrell Street.
One of the major benefits of going to Oracle Open World is the chance to meet up with people you don’t see very often. With this in mind, I was thinking of organizing a “BI Meetup” for one evening during the conference, probably at the Thirsty Bear just down the road from the Moscone Center. It’d be open to all BI speakers, attendees etc, and would be a chance for us to meet up, share a few stories and connect with people we’ve heard of but don’t usually get a chance to speak to.
Is anyone interested? If so, add a comment here, I’ll also drop an email to some of the people I know to see if they can come. If any of the Oracle PMs are interested in coming, it’d also be good to see you there. I was thinking of either Monday night (which is also OTN Night, but has the benefit of being early in the week) or if not, Tuesday night.
Add a comment if you’d like to come along. I’ll see if I can get some sponsorship as well, so we can put some money behind the bar.

Hi Mark,
Would certainly be interested in attending the BI meetup, and look forward to catching up with you and others at OOW ’09.
Regards,
