It’s been a long two years for most of us, with little or no training budget being spent on us at conferences. Online events are convenient and accessible, but they aren’t the same. I know I learn better when I’m in a room with others, watching something live.

If your company has a budget and you feel safe attending an event, come join me in December at the SQL Server and Azure SQL Conference in Las Vegas. Use the “SQLSERVERCENTRAL” discount code and save a bit more.

Everyone needs to be vaccinated or have a negative test. The conference is following guidance from the venue and city, which requires masks at this time. However, I coached all last year while wearing masks. Any inconvenience was worth the chance to be around others.

There’s a great promo showcasing some of the speakers. This is a great chance to learn from some of the most talented professionals from Microsoft at the event.
