Hosted by Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper
Hey JDE Connection listeners – Chandra and Paul here! We’re counting down the days to INFOCUS 2025 (September 9–11 in Denver), and in this episode we’re giving you the inside scoop on what to expect. Whether you’re a first-timer or a conference veteran, INFOCUS is where JD Edwards users, partners, and product experts come together to learn, share, and yes—have some fun.
Why INFOCUS is Different
If BLUEPRINT 4D is about strategy and vision, INFOCUS is where we roll up our sleeves and get into the details. It’s more technical, more hands-on, and full of practical sessions you can take back to your business right away.
We’ve got 40+ Oracle product sessions lined up and dozens more from customers and partners. Think of it as three days of jam-packed, nuts-and-bolts education.
Can’t-Miss Highlights
Here are just a few things we’re excited about:
- Roadmap Session – Paul and Jon Green will kick things off with a look at what’s coming in Release 26, complete with live demos.
- Networking & Community – From early registration happy hour to SIG meetings and lunches, there are countless ways to connect with other JDE users.
- Customer Spotlights – Real-world stories like Granite Properties’ move to OCI, Lisa Horvath’s “Upgrade in 30 Days,” and Adam Gauthier’s “Log Literacy” session that turns confusion into clarity.
- Workshops & Hands-On Learning – Dive into orchestrations, logic extensions, widgets, process modeling, and more. Bring your laptop and roll up your sleeves.
- Innovation in Action – Leon Hogarth will be live this year to share how Adnams is using Agentic AI and Orchestrator to accelerate development.
- Our Live Podcast! – That’s right, we’ll be recording The JDE Connection live onsite with Clayton Seeley. Expect a real world example of impact analysis, a few surprises, and maybe even some swag.
Beyond the Sessions
And of course, it’s not all work and no play. From the INFOCUS Welcome Reception to the Exhibitor Showcase Party, you’ll have plenty of chances to relax, mingle, and maybe even catch Paul dancing (though he denies it every year).

If you want to:
- Stay current with JDE enhancements
- Learn how others are solving the same challenges you face
