The Oracle Aces represent the very highest level of expertise and accomplishment outside Oracle Corporation (Oracle Corporation employees are not eligible for this honor). There are only 153 Oracle Aces throughout the world in the Database Management & Performance category. To have not one, not two, not three, but four Oracle Aces speak at a user group event is very rare indeed and speaks to the sheer quality of NoCOUG conferences. In fact, three Oracle Aces will battle for your attention in the same time slot!

Tim Gorman is the president of the Rocky Mountain Oracle Users Group. He is co-author of Oracle8 Data Warehousing (Wiley, 1998), Essential Oracle8i Data Warehousing (Wiley, 2000), Oracle Insights: Tales of the Oak Table (Apress, 2004), Expert Oracle Database Administration from the Oak Table (Apress, 2009), and Beginning Oracle SQL (Apress, 2010).
