Title: It’s finally here! 26ai – Zero Slides, Zero PowerPoint, Zero Marketing

Abstract: The long wait is over and 26ai is now here for on-premises hardware.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how 26ai will take your ability to build world class applications and database management to the next level. This session is packed with improvements for DBAs and Developers that will boost productivity and make the database easier to use than ever!

About the Speaker

Connor McDonald

Database Architect, Oracle Australia
Ever being frustrated as a child by the single kilobyte of RAM in his ZX80 computer, Connor McDonald has loved the challenges that come with storing data, which ultimately led to a career in database development. When Y2K did not end the world as people thought, he started presenting on his passions – SQL and Databases, and discovered that he loved helping and sharing his knowledge with the developer community. Since then he has spoken at over 150 conferences around the world. He splits the rest of his time between helping developers via StackOverflow and on asktom.oracle.com, creating YouTube videos and blog posts, and helping his rescue greyhound with treats, walks and cuddles.
