How to win friends. I’ve decided that every time I get something like this I will post it from now on.
Dear Dave
Thank you for your interest in “Lowering Costs of IT Security and Compliance,” produced by Network World and CSO Magazine and hosted by Oracle.
Unfortunately, upon further review of the information that you submitted, we determined that at this time, we are not able to confirm your seat for this event. We have established an audience qualification process to ensure that our target audience goals are being met. And, as this is a custom program for Oracle, we are committed to meeting their target audience goals and requirements.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please note that due to space limitations, walk-ins or ineligible applicants arriving at the meeting venue will NOT be admitted on the day of the event.
Thank you,
IDG Enterprise Events
I should note that this was an open event. Nothing like a form letter f*ck you to an Oracle enterprise customer.
