And that’s a wrap. On Thursday, we were able to bring together 123 registered attendees from 6 different countries. They were on hand to attend 28 virtual sessions with 30 speakers. Very proud of our partnership with the Texas Louisiana Oracle Applications and Technology Users Group (TLOATUG). A huge thanks go out to all the speakers, sponsors, board members, and moderators who donated their time and made our event a success. Because of their combined efforts, we were able to pull it off without any major technical glitches or cancelled sessions.
