Identity and Access Management at Oracle Open World 2012

Oracle Open World 2012 is fast approaching. This year Open World will run September 30 – October 4th.

As usual, there will be lots of great Identity and Access Management events and activities to participate in.

There is a dynamically updated document entitled Focus On: Identity Management which highlights all the Identity Management related sessions, events, and activities.

That being said, there are three events that I’d like to highlight.

1) It almost goes without saying that the highlight of Open World (yes even more than Larry’s key note or all the cool concerts that they are throwing) will be the hands-on lab run by our very own Chris Johnson on Complete Access Management. The schedule says that Chris’s lab will be on Monday Oct 1, 1:45 @ Marriot Marquis. There are people who would give their right arms for a chance to interact in person with Chris on the latest trends and best practices in Access Management. So, do not miss out on this opportunity.

2) Amit Jasuja, Senior Vice President, Oracle Identity Management and Security will be giving a session entitled Trends in Identity Management. This session focuses on how the latest release of Oracle Identity Management addresses emerging identity management requirements for mobile, social, and cloud computing and reduces TCO for organizations. Amit is a great guy, a great speaker, and a visionary in IDM and middleware security in general. So, I recommend that you definitely attend this event. Amit’s session will be on Monday Oct 1, 10:45AM @ Moscone West L3, Room 3003.

3) There is another hands-on lab led by Javed Beg on Integrated Identity Governance. The schedule says that this lab will be on Thursday, Oct 4, 12:45 @ Marriot Marquis. These hands-on IDM labs should be some of the most instructive and informative events at OOW and Javed is a seasoned expert in the space. So, I encourage you to attend.
