My Experience at #DOAG2024 – A Journey of Knowledge and Connection

Attending the DOAG 2024 Conference was an inspiring and memorable experience! Over the course of two days, I had the opportunity to join my colleagues in exploring the world of Oracle technologies, gaining insights from the experts, and meeting some truly incredible people in the Oracle APEX and broader Oracle community.

A Hub of Innovation and Learning

The conference was a treasure trove of knowledge. Sessions spanned from in-depth technical presentations to insightful discussions about the latest trends and best practices in Oracle technologies. Each session brought fresh ideas, practical takeaways, and plenty of moments that sparked curiosity and creativity.

I was particularly impressed by the focus on Oracle APEX (Oracle Application Express) and Oracle Database. As a platform that continues to evolve, it was inspiring to see how developers and companies are leveraging its potential to build scalable, secure, and innovative solutions.

Meeting the Community

One of the highlights of my time at DOAG2024 was meeting some of the most respected and friendly people in the Oracle community. Whether it was exchanging ideas, sharing success stories, or simply chatting over coffee, the connections I made felt truly enriching.

From Oracle APEX enthusiasts to conference veterans, I was struck by how approachable and supportive everyone was. Their passion for the technology and eagerness to share knowledge were truly inspiring.

Capturing the Moments

What made this experience even more special was having the chance to capture these moments through photos. I couldn’t resist taking photos of the amazing people I met.
