NEHEUG Regional Conference
The newly formed Northeast Regional Users Group (NERHEUG) program committee is excited to announce the first of what we hope will be many Northeast regional conferences for Oracle/PeopleSoft functional and technical teams. The conference will be held on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at The Conference Center at Mercer
(http://www.mccc.edu/cc/).

NERHEUG 2011 will be hosted by The College of New Jersey in conjunction with Berkeley College, University of Buffalo, Clarion University, Iona College, Montclair State University, Princeton University, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Syracuse University in partnership with the Higher Education Users Group (HEUG).

We envision this conference as a local "mini Alliance" to provide networking opportunities for Peoplesoft/Oracle HEUG members in this area (NJ, NY, PA, DE). Sessions may range from planning successful upgrades to specific functional and technical topics. Also we plan to have representation from selected vendors and are planning to have key individuals from Oracle participate and present at the conference.
