The First AZORA Meetup of 2014!

First of all, thank you for being part of Arizona Oracle User Group (AZORA)! We’re trying to make AZORA a vibrant user community once again.

We really appreciate your patience as we get the group up and running, and we'll do everything we can to meet your expectations, by providing you with great information and best practices along with the opportunity to network at every meeting.

For our first meeting, we’ve lined up some great presenters who have graciously volunteered their time:
