Salesforce CEO: This is probably our final Oracle Openworld


By Anh Nguyen | Oct 10, 2011

Salesforce.com chairman and CEO Marc Benioff has said that this year may well be the last time the company attends Oracle's Openworld conference in San Francisco.
 
Benioff's comments come after Oracle cancelled his keynote speech at Openworld 2011, which he believed to be Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's reaction to negative Twitter comments he made on Ellison's opening keynote on Sunday.
 
"My guess is that this is probably our swan song," Benioff said.
 
Following the cancellation, Oracle offered Benioff another time slot on Thursday morning - when he is on his way to speak at another event in Ohio.
 
Using Twitter, he drummed up enough interest to hold a rogue keynote address to an overflowing room at a local San Francisco restaurant at the time he had been originally scheduled to speak.
