Plan your VMware Virtualization Activities at Collaborate 2012 in Las Vegas

The virtualization of Oracle on VMware is one of the fastest growing areas in the IT industry.  So the timing is right to join on a number of VMware activities during the Collaborate 2012 Oracle users group conference in Las Vegas April 22 - 26.  This conference brings together the IOUG, OAUG and Quest Oracle user groups.  There are going to be a number of activities around VMware virtualization and the new IOUG virtualization Special Interest Group (SIG) at Collaborate.

A Special Interest Group (SIG) is one of the best ways to network, meet new friends, interact with experts and peers, and to feel more a part of the users group and conference.  I highly recommend you consider joining the IOUG vSIG.  Virtualization is becoming the center of the Oracle eco-system, so join the vSIG which will contain activities, events and knowledge sharing around the hottest topic in the IT industry.  Everyone in the vSIG is looking forward to meeting you.  The vSIG will contain the top Oracle VM and VMware virtualization knowledge experts.  Also, please feel welcome to use the vSIG members as your good will ambassadors if you are new to the Collaborate conference.  Come introduce yourself to us during the IOUG vSIG Welcome Reception on Sunday April 22nd.
