OpenWorld 2011: E2.0 Folks: Building a schedule

By now hopefully you've registered for OpenWorld 2011 and have checked out the schedule builder tool to figure out what sessions to attend.  I'm a little late getting to it and figured I'd make a brief post to categorize the various sessions (I like organizing things!)


The WebCenter sessions are under Middleware: Content Management, Portals and Collaboration.  Just selecting the category from the dropdown won't bring-up the sessions until you click the search button on the bottom of the page.

Additional notes
  • Here is a blog post the highlights most of the good sessions, I'm curious why they left out some E2.0 sessions that look good to me! http://blogs.oracle.com/webcenter/entry/oracle_openworld_don_t_miss 
  • if you attended OOW last year you might find that your schedule builder is already full of sessions for this year.  At least that is the only logical conclusion I can come to on why my entire schedule was full with random sessions this year.  Wish there were a single button to wipe clean the entire schedule! 
  • is it me or has the schedule builder gotten worse this year?
  • There are >15 E2.0 sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
    Wednesday there are only 4 sessions and 2 of them overlap!
    Consider taking Wed. as a day to explore a bit and take an extra thermos of coffee with you on the other days.
  • If this is your first OpenWorld
    • Plan on wearing shoes you'll be comfortable walking a LOT in
    • There are different exhibit halls, consider identifying what booths you want to visit before going in there - prepare to be overwhelmed
    • Bring a bag each day and save space to carry the stuff you'll inevitably pickup from the exhibit halls
    • Make a beer koozie with a neck strap because you'll find yourself walking with a plate of food and holding a drink a lot, and it REALLY helps if you can have a free hand
    • Checkout the San Francisco Guide in case you feel like doing some exploring
    • Bring/buy a light extension cord/power strip.  There is never enough power outlets at Moscone, so use this time to make a friend and open up some slots
    • Bring a light jacket for the night. It fogs over and gets cold and you will need one for the party!
    • Check Twitter hashtag #OOW11 for instant updates, giveaways and comments/feedback from others at the conference and consider subscribing for SMS messages from the official Oracle Openworld account: @oracleopenworld
    • Take a bus out to Fisherman's Wharf  and have some seafood
    • Be prepared for pan handlers
    • Avoid the Tenderloin
    • The Vietnamese food at Tu Luan is worth the 1/2 mile walk for a lunch visit: 8 Sixth St. San Francisco, CA 94103.  Also try Katana-Ya for Sushi
    • Keynotes are packed, plan on going early or secure a spot in front of a TV (they are everywhere) for the live telecast
