Plenary Sessions

  • Rich Clayton, VP Product Development, Analytics, will take us through Oracle's new AI Data Platform. The platform unifies all types of data—structured, unstructured, batch, and real-time to enable cost-effective, enterprise-wide AI.

  • Chris Morris is the CEO of Full Fact, the independent, non‑profit organisation dedicated to improving the information ecosystem and rebuilding public trust. Before joining Full Fact, Chris pioneered fact‑checking at the BBC, leading the creation and development of BBC Reality Check.

    In his session, Chris will share real‑world insights into how AI is reshaping the information we consume every day—and why verified data and evidence matter more than ever. He will also showcase the AI‑powered tools Full Fact has built to enhance the speed, scale, and accuracy of their fact‑checking mission.

Dedicated JD Edwards Track

While the keynotes will address cross-platform strategies, JDE users benefit from a full dedicated stream featuring:

  • JD Edwards Roadmap Update | 11:00 - 11:45
    Mark Herwege - Oracle & Christian Fronteras - Redfaire
    Hear directly from the Oracle Product Team on future functionality, release timelines, and strategic direction for EnterpriseOne. You'll also get feedback from the Redfaire team on what we are seeing in customers regarding the adoption of new functionality.

  • Embrace JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as a Modern Digital Platform to help Reduce Technical Debt | 11:45 - 12:30
    Rose Lane & Barry Yelverton - Redfaire
    For many JD Edwards customers, years of custom development has created technical debt that makes upgrades feel impossible, and the ability to adopt a continuous improvement strategy seem out of reach. In this session, we'll share the latest capabilities from Oracle JD Edwards in Process Automation and Orchestrations, but also discover how smart low-code native Oracle Cloud Services can be deployed for workflow, integrations, mobile, and scanning requirements.

  • Elevate JD Edwards: Leveraging Oracle AI for Real Business Impact | 14:15 - 15:00
    Vincent Casagrande - Redfaire
    This session will present our AI / MCP Platform with a particular focus on some AI Use Cases for JDE, such as Speech-to-Task, Anomaly Detection, and Intelligent Predictions. Discover features and functionality you may be underutilizing, with practical guidance on driving adoption and measuring business impact.

  • JDE Customer Roundtable | Turning JDE Challenges into AI Opportunities: A Practical Discovery Framework for Oracle ERP Customers | 15:15-16:15
    Vincent Casagrande - Redfaire & Srini Karri - AICOE
    Oracle JDE customers frequently ask: Where should we apply AI first—and how do we know it will work? This session answers that question by walking through a hands-on AI Discovery Workshop that has been successfully used to identify AI opportunities in ERP environments. By sharing practical examples and lessons learned from real customer use cases, we will demonstrate how you can move from AI curiosity to confident, value-driven adoption within your Oracle ERP landscape. This will be an interactive session with discussions, feedback, and peer learning.

Networking Opportunities
Connect with Snr. leaders and technical experts from JDE, E-Business Suite, and Hyperion clients during dedicated networking breaks, lunch, and our evening drinks reception.
