HAS Oracle CloudWorld Next week in Las Vegas, Oracle will showcase its unique approach to dazzling customers and disrupting the competition. Here are five innovations attendees, as well as Oracle TV viewers, should look for:
- keynote speeches on the future by Oracle executives Larry Ellison and Safra Catz;
- 600+ sessions on cloud technology, AI advancements, purpose-built databases for cloud and AI, industry solutions and more;
- how to derive the greatest business value from AI deployments;
- information on why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is the world’s fastest growing major cloud company; and
- the opportunity for attendees to experience both NetSuite’s CloudWorld and SuiteWorld, with the two events coming together for the first time.
Here are some thoughts on each of these five topics and why I think they should be of particular interest to business and technology leaders looking to drive better business outcomes through AI and cloud technology in a rapidly evolving digital economy.

1. Keynote Address by Larry Ellison and Safra Catz
Over the past three CloudWorld events, CEO Safra Catz has showcased breakthrough business innovations from several leading customers across a wide range of industries. In a fireside chat format, Catz and her C-level guests provide compelling insights into the radical business transformations Oracle is helping these customers achieve with new products and services, new revenue streams, optimized processes, and real-time data insights. Catz’s world-class business acumen and graceful conversational approach bring out the best in her guests and provide attendees with valuable insights into where the business world is headed.
Ellison has a history of using his speeches to lay out not only Oracle’s technology vision, but often the direction of the entire technology industry. This year, I’ll be eager to see what Ellison has to say about what he calls “AI Data Centers“—some of the largest installations of their kind in the world—and Oracle’s unmatched deployment options that deliver computing power and capabilities to customers that were unimaginable just a few years ago.
2. 600+ sessions on essential cloud and AI technologies
Oracle has a very broad product portfolio and is active at every level of the cloud and AI market. That’s why its CloudWorld events always feature a wide range of training sessions to help attendees understand how to drive great business outcomes from Oracle technology. And with the pace of change in the business world accelerating, these sessions are becoming even more valuable as enterprise technology becomes indispensable to companies across all industries.
3. Making the most of AI deployments
Oracle has been a pioneer in AI for more than 20 years, and the GenAI revolution has enabled the company to integrate all parts of its portfolio—infrastructure, databases, applications, security, and more—with powerful AI technologies that help customers increase productivity. And Innovation for Growth. Oracle has one of the broadest industry solution sets in the world. Its AI innovations, which will be showcased at CloudWorld, are rapidly expanding into vertical market capabilities, providing unique competitive advantages for Oracle customers.
4. The fastest growing cloud infrastructure business in the world
At CloudWorld, Oracle will showcase its hyper-growth OCI technologies and services that deliver unmatched performance to customers at lower cost and with greater security. Attendees will learn everything from Cloud@Customer to Dedicated Cloud Regions to Standalone database to revolutionary multicloud solutions with Microsoft, Google Cloud, Amazon and more.
5. CloudWorld and SuiteWorld Partner for Mega Event
Although Oracle acquired NetSuite eight years ago, the NetSuite event (SuiteWorld) was held independently of CloudWorld until this year. Now, as more SMBs embrace the cloud, the ability for customers to experience all the latest innovations from SuiteWorld and CloudWorld at one major event will give them more insight and options to shape their growth and innovation strategies.
