The international JD Edwards community is gathering in Las Vegas later this month. Yes, that can only mean it's almost time for Collaborate 2018! Collaborate is an annual meeting of the Oracle ERP community, where you can share ERP tips and best practices to take back to your own organization.

Today we’ re sharing ways for the JD Edwards community to get the most value from attending #C18LV. If you’re not familiar with the Collaborate event, fear not; take a look at the exciting updates from Collaborate 17 for a catch-up.

Pre-order your Agenda

Collaborate 18 takes place over 5 days, from April 22^nd to 26^th. I know what you’re thinking: “5 days is plenty of time, I’ll see everything in 5 days!”. You’d be surprised at how quickly the days can pass in the City of Sin! To maximize your time at Collaborate 18, know what’s on, when and where.

Thankfully, it has never been easier to plan your agenda with Collaborate’s Build your Agenda helper. This search tool lets you filter the agenda for only JD Edwards events, meaning you only see the events most relevant to you!

Arrive Early for the JD Edwards Keynote

Every JD Edwards attendee at Collaborate 18 will be heading to one place and one place only on Monday, April 23^rd at 11am — to the Mandalay Bay Ballroom F to hear the JD Edwards keynote. Delivered by Lyle Ekdahl, Senior VP & General Manager of Oracle JD Edwards, the keynote is always the number one time to hear about JD Edwards plans and updates. This year’s keynote is called ‘the Innovating Enterprise, You Make It Happen’ and is not to be missed!

Network, network, network

The name of the game is Collaborate, so networking and meeting people in organizations similar to yours is what it’ s all about. Collaborate provides huge networking opportunities within the JD Edwards community, particularly through partner events like the Collaborate VIP Party on April 23^rd, hosted by Redfaire International and Terillium.
