RE: Oracle training vs IOUG-A vs ECO

Good question, which is best: IOUG or OpenWorld b/c most cheap companies don't pay for both?
I never went to OpenWorld, but been to IOUG and the presentations from TUSC were some of the best.
Any opinions out there?

Last time I went to the ECO site, it looked closed. Are they still around?
