Unlock the secrets of the Oracle ACE program with our special guest, Jennifer Nicholson, who brings an insider's perspective to this exclusive community. Hear firsthand about its beginnings as a clever marketing tool and its current mission to connect a global network of experts. With members hailing from 48 countries, Jennifer sheds light on the program's dedication to maintaining a high standard of expertise, providing a framework for personal and professional growth, and adapting to its members' evolving lives.

Step into the world of Oracle ACEs, where sharing knowledge and community support triumph over collecting accolades. Jennifer and I stroll through the ranks from ACE Associate to ACE Director, uncovering the myriad benefits that accompany each level. From direct lines to Oracle product managers to the adventurous ACE Adventures, the rewards are as much about broadening one's horizons as they are about exclusive perks such as certification vouchers and customized merchandise, all in the spirit of recognizing the community's contributions.

Looking ahead, together with Jennifer we explore the strategic expansion of the Oracle ACE program, ensuring it cultivates a community that values quality over quantity. We reflect on how the pandemic has shaped community-building, emphasizing the power of personal connections and shared experiences. Highlighting the vital role of Oracle tours in regions like Latin America and APAC, we discuss how these events knit ACEs together, fostering friendships and a vibrant exchange of knowledge that transcends borders within the Oracle ecosystem.
