Find Paul at the Communities Exchange Summit

Paul will be one of the featured presenters at the 2008 Communities Exchange Summit, next week. His presentation is called “It’s Not About the Tools: How Oracle Builds Customer Communities”.

There’s a teaser Q&A session posted, if you want more incentive. If you’re in San Jose next week and want to check it out, here’s the skinny.

2008 Communities Exchange Summit

Where: Hayes Mansion, San Jose, CA

When: October 14-15 (with opening reception on the evening of Monday, October 13), 2008

What to Expect: Lots of networking with your peers. Lots of opportunity for group interaction. Emphasis on presentations by leading practitioners working with Customer Communities, rather than vendors. Opportunity for those just starting out to “learn the ropes” of running Customer Communities Programs!

If you’re attending, stop by and say hi to Paul, maybe rattle his cage a bit with some tough questions.

While we’re talking about conferences, it looks like Paul will also be speaking at Defrag this year. Defrag is in Denver, November 3-4. Sounds cold. I’ll be attending as well for giggles. Check out the speaker list, solid.

Update: Looks like Paul won’t be there after all, due to a scheduling conflict, but never fear, you’ll still get your fix of AppsLab goodness from me. That’s right, I’ll be speaking instead of Paul, assuming the organizers want me 🙂
