    • Plan your schedule

      To make sure you don’t miss out on the sessions that match your interests and role, plan your personalized schedule using the CloudWorld schedule builder, starting August 16.

      This functionality is only available to registered attendees, so purchase your pass before you select favorite sessions and add them to your schedule. When you arrive at CloudWorld in Las Vegas, you’ll have your full schedule—including session names, times and locations—right at your fingertips with the Oracle Events mobile app.

      If sessions reach capacity, you’ll be added to the wait list. Adding sessions to your schedule does not guarantee a seat; make sure you arrive at session rooms 10 minutes early to secure your spot.
