If it's Denmark you wish to go to then check out www.miracleas.dk There is a database forum in October and a Master Class in January 04. You won't get nearly so much hype of new features but the quality of the presenters is second to none IMO.

<my hype>
Presenters include
Oracle Magazine's Educator of the Year Mogens Norgaard Author of Oracle Performance Tuning 101 Gaja Krishna Vaidyanatha Hotsos' Cary Millsap
Pete Sharman of this list
Jonathan Lewis also of this list
</hype>

Errm I'd better caveat that by pointing out the heavy Oak Table links at these events, so I'm not entirely disinterested even though I sadly can't go.
