** Canadian Technology Summit **
OSUG Supporters
Dear Sybase User;
Please join us on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 1 & 2, 2009 for the next Ottawa Sybase User Group (OSUG) special event! OSUG's mission is to create a Sybase community in the National Capital area of Canada where users can share knowledge, experiences, and best practices. Users of all Sybase products, including data management, tools and mobility are welcome to attend. This meeting will feature networking opportunities, product updates and a discussion.
For the first time in our history, this will be a two day event hosting many Sybase professionals, 3rd party vendors, user presentations, senior management participation, etc culminating in an event I would like to call the "Canadian Technical Summit". This event will have two streams - one Data Management and the other Development. You will be able to register for either one or better yet, make sure that you bring a colleague with you so that you can cover both agendas. There is even a planned "cocktail reception" on the Tuesday night (Dec 1st). The event will cover subject areas such as: SMS messaging from PB 12.NET, Taking your PowerBuilder applications to the Web; Data Warehousing, Replication, Sybase and SAS, Data Modeling, Database Monitoring and Performance, ASE and PB tools, Product Futures, Mobility, etc just to highlight some key areas. On the Development side we will see evangelist John Strano showing us the latest PB 12.NET from engineering, best practices and another training session. For Data Management we will have senior VP Brian Vink addressing key product futures, Mobility and presentations on comparing various Data Modeling approaches. You will have access to key Sybase technical staff from Canada and the USA to ask questions about Sybase products, interact with users utilizing the same technologies and gain key information into 2010 based products and features.
In many cases, you will be the first people outside of Sybase to see various leading edge products in action, get an in-depth review of its features, see live demonstrations, hear how others have used Sybase products, etc and then get “hands-on” training sessions to boot! But wait, that’s not all – you will get to take home with you free software, door prizes, and special unlimited versions of select Sybase and 3rd party products. This event will be of interest to developers, DBA's, project leaders, analysts, IT managers, consultants, etc who want to see how and why Sybase is now the largest software vendor specializing and focused on mobile information management. We will be showcasing presentations from companies such as: Novalys, Appeon and Bradmark as well just to name a few.
The OSUG Dec 1/2, 2009 meeting will be held in Ottawa at Constitution Square in the double Board Room (down the hallway from the Queen's University MBA lecture theatre). Constitution Square is located at 350 Albert Street (at Lyon) just across the street from the Crowne Plaza hotel. Bus access is right to the door and parking is available at the hotel, in Constitution Square and across the street. The Double Board room is located on the second floor (center) and can be accessed from either the west or east elevators.
