Announcing the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2010, May 19th – 21st 2010, Hotel Seattle Brighton UK
February 15th, 2010 by Mark Rittman
I’m very pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2010, to be held at the Hotel Seattle, Brighton on May 19th – 21st 2010.
Like last year’s event, the 2010 BI Forum is focused on Oracle BI Enterprise Edition and the technologies that support it, such as Essbase, ODI EE and the Oracle Database. We have a number of the world’s top speakers on the subject, including names such as
- Gerard Braat (Oracle Corporation), on “Complex Modelling with OBIEE 11g”
- Antony Heljula (Peak Indicators), on “BI EE Architectures and Sizing”
- Venkatakrishnan J (Rittman Mead), on “Fusion Middleware 11g – ADF Business Components”
- Craig Stewart, (Oracle Corporation), on “ODI 11g: The New Generation of Data Integration”, and
- John Minkjan (Ciber), on “OBIEE Customizations: When You Are In The Kitchen, Learn to Cook”
For a full listing of all the sessions, check out the event website at http://www.rittmanmead.com/biforum2010
As well as general sessions on the 20th and 21st May, we also have a keynote by Phil Bates (OBIEE Architect, Oracle Corporation) at the event reception on the evening of the 19th May, and a special one-day OBIEE Masterclass earlier in the day by none other than Kurt Wolff, one of the original nQuire team and an expert on repository modeling and dashboard design.
The pricing for the event is very reasonable and we’ve also subsidized the cost of two nights in the event hotel, so that we can all stay in the same place over the three days. There’s also the opportunity to stay for an extra night before and after the event, if you want to arrive the night before for Kurt’s masterclass, or your flight back doesn’t leave until the Saturday.
As with last year, we’ve taken a decision to limit the number of attendees to 50, to maximize the opportunities for networking and to allow us to keep the focus on intermediate-to-advanced OBIEE topics. Last year’s attendees have already been able to register for the past week, but we’re now opening up registrations publically and there are around 25 places left. If you are interested in attending, check out the event website and register here, and hopefully we’ll see you in Brighton in May!

Hi Chet
We are thinking of doing something similar to the BI Forum in the USA, probably under the auspices of ODTUG. Keep an eye on the site for news later in the year.
Also, ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2010 in Washington DC (http://www.odtugkaleidoscope.com) has me as the BI/DW content lead, and I’ve helped to pull together what is in many ways a US version of the UK BI Forum agenda. This event is in late June (the week before 4th of July weekend) and has a particular focus on best practices and new features coming in 11g. You should try and make it to this event at the least.
best regards
Mark
