LAOUC 2025 Guatemala

We arrived in Guatemala about midnight their time, which is an hour behind Panama where we came from. So we were really tired and the event started early, so little time for sleep.

Up early the next day for the conference. Not sure why but I had 3 back to back sessions, which kept me busy, then it was lunch and I went back to hotel for some sleep before a wonderful speaker's meal.

The extra session I did here was my All You Need To Know About Oracle, and for again a mainly student audience it is a great session. Oracle want students to think of Oracle as a viable option and remembering a funny story is a great way to instal that thought process.

In one of my sessions there were two APEX developers who work for a bank. It is there first job out of university and they had never really considered why some organisations are so dependant on legacy systems. My roadmapping session, albeit generic for the audience, made sense of the strategy that they have found in their employer.
