The SAOUG Conference 2026 brings together business and technology leaders to explore how modern enterprises are being built, transformed and sustained in an AI-driven world.
Across two days, the agenda moves from strategic keynote perspectives to practical, real-world application. Global Oracle leadership, industry experts, customers, partners and practitioners come together to share the thinking, technologies and experiences shaping today’s intelligent enterprise.
AI Everywhere comes to life across the programme, connecting business applications, cloud infrastructure, data and developer platforms, finance, industry transformation and the people behind the technology. Each session is designed to bridge strategy and execution, helping organisations turn innovation into measurable business outcomes.
Customer-led storytelling and real-world use cases are central to the agenda, showcasing how organisations across Africa are modernising core systems, adopting AI and cloud technologies, strengthening resilience and enabling smarter, faster decision-making. This is particularly evident in the Day 2 Customer Innovation Panel and dedicated Industry Track.
Delegates can explore practical insight across Oracle E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, Fusion Applications, EPM and Hyperion, Oracle APEX, Oracle Database and OCI, alongside AI, analytics, intelligent automation, risk, compliance, finance transformation and ESG. The current tracks also cover Exadata, RAC, MAA, Kubernetes, platform engineering, testing and resilience.
But transformation is not only about technology. Dedicated sessions explore leadership, change management, user adoption, skills and human-centred transformation, helping organisations bring their people along the journey and realise greater value from their technology investments.
A dedicated Early Careers programme completes the picture, creating opportunities for the next generation to build practical skills, learn from experienced Oracle professionals and participate meaningfully in Africa’s digital future, including career-focused sessions and a hands-on Oracle APEX workshop.
Two days. One connected ecosystem. From strategy to execution, and from AI ambition to real business impact.
