Oracle Europe has scheduled what is being billed as the first Virtual Enterprise 2.0 Conference focused on Europe on 19 February 2009.
Although I am sure most of the content will focus on Oracle’s Enterprise 2.0 technology solutions, the conference should be interesting in that the keynote by Dennis Krueger will focus on Enterprise 2.0 trends in Europe for 2009. Dennis is the publisher of JDK DE, the largest ECM information portal in Deutschland.
The conference is scheduled to have 5 concurrent tracks available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
Expect to see quite a few more conferences go the virtual route over the next 2 or 3 years as the hard realities of the recession sink into most companies travel budget.
