The EMEA Community Tour (also known as the Oracle Community Tour EMEA) is a premier annual series of in-person technology conferences designed to unite Oracle professionals, developers, and industry leaders across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Organized by a collaboration of local Oracle User Groups and fueled by the Oracle ACE Program, the tour serves as a localized hub for high-level knowledge sharing and networking.

Core Mission & Goals

Knowledge Democratization: The tour aims to bring "star-studded" casts of international experts—including Oracle ACE Directors and Oracle Product Managers—directly to local communities, eliminating the need for long-distance travel to major global summits.

Independent Research & Insights: Unlike standard corporate roadshows, these events prioritize independent research and real-world best practices shared by practitioners who work with the technology daily.

Community Strengthening: By rotating through diverse locations (from Copenhagen to Tashkent), the tour fosters regional collaboration and helps strengthen the professional ties within local IT ecosystems.

EMEA Community Tour 2026 will be divided into 2 distinct parts, which will take place in September and in November:

1) OCTEMEA 2026 part 1:  CASOUG week from Sept. 14th to Sept. 18th
