Bootcamp provides the opportunity to:
• Choose from over 100 sessions and hands-on labs
• Learn directly from HP senior engineers
• Hear from HP executives re: HP’s commitment to OpenVMS
• Attend the Oracle Rdb and Oracle database on OpenVMS technical forum
• Network and socialize in the OpenVMS community

Previous attendees of the OpenVMS Bootcamps have been impressed, including these two attendees:

"The OpenVMS bootcamp is by far the best use of our OpenVMS training dollars - you get direct access to OpenVMS engineers in addition to other bootcamp attendees, any of which are likely to be able to help with any questions/problems you may be having! There's nothing like learning about OpenVMS features from the people who had a hand in creating them. Also, hands-on Storageworks labs offered there are valuable for both learning and experimenting."
-- Ron Kaledas

"I have attended 2 Bootcamps recently. Back in the mid-80s, with no prior experience, I built world-class data centers from what I learned at DECUS, attending both semi-annual symposia while it survived. DECUS is gone, so what to do now? I was surprised at the exceptional value of Bootcamp. There is no equivalent to knowledgeable experts who get things across in the presentation so it is understood - I found this at every session I attended at Bootcamp. And a plus is that I became reacquainted with old friends from the DECUS days. I recommend it without hesitation."
-- Dave McKelleb
