The Green Program at Oracle OpenWorld

The Green Room

Walk, don't drive, to the Oracle OpenWorld Green Room, in the Yerba Buena Theater, to hear customers, partners, and representatives from universities and government agencies discuss how sustainability affects your business. How are enterprises creating green business opportunities and measuring their own green initiatives? What kinds of regulations are likely to be created? What role does brand perception and consumer demand play in a business choice to focus on sustainability? Learn all this and more in sessions dedicated to the topic of green.
