NEW SPEAKER FAQ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quest wants to hear from you! We welcome and encourage new speakers for our
upcoming BLUEPRINT 4D event. Help us shape the learning experience through your
expertise and knowledge.

Q: Who can present at BLUEPRINT 4D?

A: All customer users of PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Oracle Cloud applications,
Oracle Commerce or Oracle Database & Technology solutions are encouraged to
consider speaking at BLUEPRINT 4D. Solutions experts who work for Oracle
partners or other system integrators are also welcome, but some rules apply.
Questions? Email us at education@questoraclecommunity.org.

Q: Is prior speaker history required?

A: No! Prior speaking experience is not required. We encourage any active
product user/customer to join us for this year’s event. You have the knowledge,
you have the experience – you too are a product expert! Browse the hot topics,
education tracks and presentation thought starters by product to start
developing your presentation topic.

Q: Are speakers compensated for their participation?

A: Yes! Primary speakers receive a FREE full conference pass to BLUEPRINT 4D,
providing unlimited access to four jam-packed days of Oracle education and
networking activities, including all general education, keynote, break-out and
networking sessions. Registration access is provided after speaker acceptance
and submission of final presentation materials.

Q: What kind of presentations is the Conference Selection Committee looking for?

A: The Selection Committee encourages speakers to submit presentation proposals
that tell a story (for example: how your company did X to get Y result), address
a challenge (for example: your company was facing a particular issue, which it
solved by doing this with its Oracle products), explain how to use a particular
feature or functionality or share successful strategies for driving business
value through the use of Oracle product features and functionality. Presentation
focus should align to hot topics or education tracks for PeopleSoft, JD Edwards,
Oracle Cloud apps, Oracle Commerce or Oracle Database & Technology. Browse the
product tabs above for ideas and thoughtstarters!

Q: Is it easy to apply?

A: Yes! All that’s required is a session title, a simple presentation abstract
(1-2 paragraphs that describe your topic and what attendees will learn from your
session) and completion of the online application form. Tell us what you’d like
to present and why other attendees will find this information useful, and we’ll
take it from there!

Q: What is an abstract?

A: An abstract is 1-2 paragraphs that simply and clearly describe the topic and
focus of your presentation: What story will you tell? What insights will you
share? What pain points will you address? What tips & tricks will attendees
learn? Describe your session in a way that will generate attendee interest and
excitement. Be sure to reference the product and any specific features or
enhancements that will be addressed. You may also want to include your company
name (for example: Learn how Company XYZ did this…).

Q: How should I title my session?

A: Your session title is the first thing attendees see about your presentation.
A well written or catchy title can generate attendee interest and excitement
leading to high session registration, while a less well-developed title may draw
less attention or escape notice altogether. Consider these tips for a title that
will engage attendee attention:

 * Promise a benefit: “Learn how to X, Y, Z”
 * Promise a story: “How Company A did Topic B”
 * Use a number: “Three critical steps for successful XYZ”
 * Provoke curiosity: The #1 strategy for solving ABC”
 * Set up a problem/solution: “Common mistakes companies make when doing XYZ and
   how to avoid them”
