Tips and Guidelines

The following information provides general guidelines for submitting sessions. Providing such information does not guarantee that a submission will be accepted by the conference review committee.

General Tips


  • Session titles should be descriptive of the content and use common keywords. Write an abstract that is easy to read and describes the value of the presentation. An example of a useful title is: Balancing Replication and Partitioning in a Distributed Java Database. An example of an uninformative and vague title: JavaFX and You. Do explicitly mention what is being discussed during the session rather than making a blatant marketing or strategy pitch. For example, include mention of product demonstration, case study, customer/partner participation, quantitative facts, etc.
  • Use present tense in session descriptions. For example, "In this session, hear how a leading utilities company uses Java EE to..."
  • Do not use first person (I, our, we).
  • Do not include proprietary or confidential material.
  • Submitter must secure all necessary permissions for use of proposed presentation materials before submitting.
  • Oracle reserves the right to edit all content. Abbreviated product names and unacceptable acronyms will be spelled out in the editing process and will count toward the character limits.
  • Standard presentation time slots are 60 minutes. We suggest allocating 10 minutes for a Q&A period within that timeframe. Please note that HOLs and BOFs may differ in length.
  • It is not necessary to submit multiple entries on the same topic for a conference. For example, do not submit the same entry as a customer and then as a user group member.
  • Verify all contact and content information before submitting.

Tips for Titles and Abstracts

  • Observe the character counts for session titles and abstracts. Session titles are limited to a maximum of 80 characters, including spaces (approximately 12 to 17 words, on average). Session abstracts are limited to a maximum of 750 characters, including spaces.
  • You must use the full Oracle product name at all times.
  • You may not create acronyms or abbreviations of Oracle product names.
  • In general, you may not use acronyms in session titles and must spell out acronyms at first use in abstracts. Some widely accepted industry acronyms are acceptable, for example, SOA and CRM. Unacceptable acronyms will be spelled out in the edit process and will count toward your character limits in titles and abstracts.
