  Next week, October 2-6, I am in San Francisco to support the IBM exhibition boot at [Oracle OpenWorld 2011] conference. IBM is a Grand Level Sponsor for this event. IBM and Oracle have been partners since 1986, and IBM is a [Diamond Level Partner in the Oracle OpenNetwork], the highest level available. I will be joined by dozens of other subject matter experts from various parts of IBM. Here is my schedule:

I won't have my laptop at the IBM booth, so if you need to reach me, send me an SMS text message to my cell phone, or send me a tweet on my Twitter account: [@az990tony]

IBM will also have experts in the following areas throughout the week:

• Intel: Booth #711 at Moscone South
• Java One: Booth #5608 at the Hilton San Francisco, Continental Ballroom
• JD Edwards Pavilion: Booth HSJ-002 at the Westin St. Francis Hotel
• Netezza, a newly acquired IBM company: Booth #3723 at Moscone West

I arrive Sunday afternoon. If you arrive Sunday, here are some things IBM is featuring:
