Are you ready to immerse yourself in a world of innovation and insights? INFOCUS 2023, hosted by Quest, is just around the corner (September 27th – 29th), and it’s shaping up to be an event like no other.

From visionary keynotes to hands-on workshops, from networking opportunities to in-depth sessions, INFOCUS 2023 is set to redefine how you engage with the JD Edwards Community. We spoke with Jon Vaughn, Chief Executive Officer at Quest Oracle Community, for some behind-the-scenes information on this year’s event.
Can you tell us about the keynote speakers and special guests attending the event? What unique perspectives will they bring to the discussions?
Oracle’s Paul Houtkooper and Jeff Erickson will kick off INFOCUS 23 with the “Welcome & Roadmap” where they’ll share recent and future JD Edwards product improvements.
In addition, we’ll have an array of industry experts and innovative customer speakers like Penn Engineering, Monterey Mushrooms, Granite Construction, Philbro Animal Health and more.
