Oracle FY09 Global Kickoff

June 9 - 12, 2008 | Las Vegas, NV | Mandalay Bay Convention Center

Oracle is excited to once again hold its annual Oracle FY09 Kickoff event at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Oracle FY09 Global Kickoff will bring together between 7,000—8,000 sales representatives and sales consultants from Oracle's North American sales team, Latin American division, and the Global Business Units.

Sponsors and exhibitors will have direct access to Oracle's sales team to communicate their organization's message and learn how to work with the sales teams to increase sales to their own organization. A total of 7 ½ hours of dedicated time for you to meet directly with the Oracle Sales Team! This is a great opportunity to create new relationships and enhance existing ones. We look forward to seeing you there!

OPN Solutions Catalog—Promote Your Solutions to Oracle's Sales Teams
In our continuing effort to be environmentally responsible we will be reducing the content of this year's Oracle FY09 Global Kickoff Agenda Guide and using online Interactive Centers to promote sessions and showcase our sponsoring and exhibiting partners to the Oracle sales force.

All partner information provided in these Centers will be pulled from the OPN Solutions Catalog. The Solutions Catalog is your way to market yourself at no cost to Oracle's customers, prospects and sales force.

To ensure our sales teams learn about your company and your Oracle-based solutions and services we encourage you to create or update your company and solutions profiles in the Solutions Catalog no later than May 2. To help you to create effective profiles, click for a tutorial that provides many resources, including getting started instructions and tips and tricks. Your company's OPN administrator can update your profiles. If you are unsure of who your administrator is, contact your local OPN Interaction Center representative.
Profile Key Word Search List
We strongly recommend you use one or more of the keywords from the Key Word Search List (PDF) in your solutions descriptions whenever possible to ensure our sales force find your solutions quickly and easily.
Play to Win at the Oracle FY09 Global Kickofff
This year, Oracle will be running an internet version of the famous game "Jeopardy" to help educate our sales teams about your Oracle solutions and drive traffic to your exhibit space. It's easy to participate!

Step 1: Create or update your solution profile in the OPN Solutions Catalog before May as described above.

Step 2: Start thinking about three to five questions (and answers! It's "Jeopardy!") you would like to ask our sales force. Be sure your questions align with one or more of the categories (applications, technology, and industry) in the Key Word Search List to ensure they coincide with our teams' sales focus. A representative from the OPN team will contact you within the next few weeks to collect your questions and answers.
Virtual Collateral Rack
A fantastic way to extend your branding reach and save trees and money, by eliminating the need to print and ship collateral cartons to the event! Before the event, you'll upload your electronic company collateral to the Virtual Collateral Rack. Onsite, attendees will visit Interactive Kiosks to download and email your collateral. Additional information can be found in Advertising Opportunities (PDF).
Information Exchange Column Wrap
Do you want to get noticed on the exhibition floor? Expand your visibility by adding the 10' Information Exchange Column Wrap to your package. Oracle will use your logo or advertisement to produce the column wrap. Limited availability so act soon! Additional information can be found in Advertising Opportunities (PDF).
