Benefits
Education
NWOUG provides a variety of opportunities to learn about current and upcoming Oracle technologies.
Please continue to visit the Events page to learn about upcoming NWOUG/Oracle sponsored lunch-and-learns, conferences, and other educational events, as well as training, conferences, and events offered by Oracle Corporation and other Oracle user groups. Except for our big annual all-day Training Day events, typically all of the other events throughout the year are free for members! (Non-members can also attend these events for a nominal fee.) All a member has to do is attend a couple of events and their membership is paid for! And that does not even take into account the educational and networking benefits gained from attending!
Networking
NWOUG offers networking opportunities through the trainings and events we sponsor; we also encourage online interaction through our
Forums available to our members.
Join in discussions related to Oracle products, strategic direction, and staffing or post your own discussion topic to obtain the benefit of the collective knowledge and experience of the NWOUG community.
Media
NWOUG members have access to the
Documents page where Oracle related articles and presentations can be viewed and downloaded.
Members Only
The members-only section of NWOUG web site includes technical documents, articles and presentations. Moreover, NWOUG members often receive discounts on training, event and conference registrations.

Group Membership - Receive a discounted rate for groups of 5 or more
Corporate 5: $160
