What plugging in gets you

• Group training* that gets your team unlimited seat access to Oracle education with no associated travel and lodging expenses
• Virtual interaction with a wide-range of speakers and subject-matter experts
• Selection from 41 hours of live, quality streaming content (selected by popular choice) that run concurrently throughout the main event
• Two justifiable days of onsite training
• Archived, on demand access to video/audio proceedings post-event

*While group set-up provides the highest return on investment, virtual access can also be set-up at the individual level.

How it works

1. You register for your group seat license here.
2. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation along with detailed instructions on virtual set-up.
3. Anytime before the event, you and/or your employee(s) selects their session curriculum from the virtual program.**
4. While you and/or your employee can access the virtual program individually, for highest return on investment, it is recommended that employers reserve a conference room or specific location prior to the event, allowing for multiple employee access.

**Note: Sessions range from 30-minute and one-hour sessions.
