Are You the Next OAUG Idol?

OAUG Emcee Idol
Global Software

The 2008 OAUG Annual Meeting of the Members is sponsored by Global Software.

Do people tell you you’ve got a shining personality or a certain “star quality?” Have you ever felt you should have taken a career path in entertainment? Well, now is your chance to see if you have what it takes. The OAUG is accepting video clip “auditions” to find the OAUG Emcee Idol to host the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Members, sponsored by Global Software, Inc., during COLLABORATE 08. Candidates should be humorous, charismatic, well spoken, have the ability to energize and engage the OAUG audience, ability to memorize scripted talking points, have an understanding of Oracle Applications and be comfortable on stage in front of hundreds of people.

Video clips should be 2-3 minutes long and showcase your creativity and ability to emcee a show. Key points to mention in your video are: your name, company, how long you’ve been an OAUG member and what brings you to the COLLABORATE 08 conference. Our panel of expert judges will select a winner.

What’s in it for you? Not only will the OAUG Emcee Idol get the opportunity to address the entire OAUG audience, but the winning emcee idol will also receive a complimentary full-conference registration*, a $500 American Express Gift Card, a complimentary hotel suite* in Denver, Colorado, during COLLABORATE 08 for four (4) nights, VIP access to the OAUG VIP lounge in the Exhibitor Showcase, an invitation to the VIP reception on Wednesday, April 16, and a mention in the Summer issue of the OAUG Insight magazine!

Don’t delay! Videos are due by Friday, March 21, 2008. Videos should be submitted in .mpg (MPEG), .avi (AVI), .wmv (Windows Media), or .mov (QuickTime) format and smaller than 100MB. Videos submitted via postal mail may also be in standard NTSC DVD-Video or VHS cassette format. The winner will be notified on or about April 1, 2008, and announced at the OAUG Annual Meeting of the Members hosted at COLLABORATE 08 on Wednesday, April 16, 2008, in Denver, Colorado.
