Why Attend or Start a Local EPM Meetup in India?
By Dayalan Punniyamoorthy, Vertical Edge Consulting Group

I have asked myself this question and have posed it to my colleagues as well. Most of the Oracle EPM-related events – conferences, Meetups, Kscope, and Oracle OpenWorld – are hosted primarily in the US and Europe. I haven’t heard of similar conferences happening in India. I’ve always wanted to be part of a gathering related to EPM, so I decided to work with ODTUG to make it happen.

All of my questions and prayers were answered in 2016. I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of the ODTUG EPM Marketing Committee, thanks to Opal Alapat. During the interaction I had with ODTUG key members, I expressed my interest for an EPM Meetup in India and it was accepted immediately. So the first Meetup was arranged once we had a reasonable number of like-minded folks identified.

A special thanks to ODTUG for sponsoring this first Meetup. It was really great to meet people with varied experiences from different suites of EPM. Read more.

Save the date! Kscope17 is heading to San Antonio, Texas, June 25-29 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country.

If selected, you’ll receive a free registration to the conference.

Register to attend by September 1, 2016, and you’ll lock in the lowest possible rate. That is a savings of $800 off the standard registration fee.

Why San Antonio? This beautiful city has a multitude of activities to offer outside of the great content at Kscope17 for you and your family.
