The technology landscape is evolving faster than ever, and Artificial Intelligence is at the center of that transformation.
RMOUG Training Days 2026 goes fully virtual, bringing together a global community of technologists, data professionals, developers, and AI enthusiasts.
Over three dedicated dates, we’ll explore how AI is reshaping every layer of enterprise technology—from databases and applications to development and beyond. Each track is designed to deliver deep-dive technical sessions, real-world use cases, and practical strategies that you can apply immediately in your work.
Building an Agent on OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)
This talk will show you how to build a Knowledge Base, Leverage an LLM, and use Retrieval Augmented Generation using the Oracle Cloud tools recently coming available. You can use this for different documents that you would like to access (but, not share with the world). The Agent will access your data using leveraging vector embeddings & RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). I'll show how to access your private documents using RAG and the Llama LLM (on OCI - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). This talk will also show how Oracle's security, converged database, autonomous database, database speed, and Oracle vector DB are all keys to Oracle as the best database for AI.

Business Applications of Oracle's AI & ML Tools
This is a Business look at practical applications of Machine Learning & AI. Using Oracle Machine Learning algorithms, I'll show how to produce results quickly for a business. Training a model with either data that you have or data via Big Data opportunities will be key to teach a model. After you have the correct algorithm, testing the model on new data that starts to prescribe what to do in the future on things like Big Data or other data in other places. Understanding which customers or potential customers are likely to buy is another place to leverage AI. Finding anomalies quicker to address as needed (potentially with an Agent). Finding the product that is the next product a customer will buy is helpful to increase revenue. Finding attributes of great customers create opportunities & you'll learn what they want to buy first or second. Add a chatbot to ask the customer or help the customer or employee find something in a document.

How Do I Leverage AI to Grow My Career as an Oracle Professional
We have become an AI driven world. Every vendor has an AI story, and every executive is asking what AI means for their business. For Oracle DBAs, developers, and architects, the real question is simple: How do I use AI to grow my career, not fall behind? In this session, we will talk about practical ways Oracle professionals can use AI to become more valuable, more visible, and more impactful in their organizations.Let’s talk about leveraging AI to remove grunt work, learn faster, and expand your visibility. Our goal with AI should be to become three to four times more productive. Let’s discuss how we can achieve more with AI. The six key things that we will focus on are learning effective prompt engineering, using AI to write better scripts and documentation, creating a simple roadmap to make AI part of your daily habit, building co-pilot projects with things like vector search/RAG/APEX, improving presentations and communication with AI, and lastly, as a fellow executive, what I am hearing from other executives in the IT industry about the AI roadmap. Come see how you can use AI to future proof your Oracle career and move from being the person who keeps the lights on to the person who leads the conversation.
