  • My 2024 PASS Data Community Summit Schedule

    I’m already up. It’s just after 6am in Seattle, but I’m moving and getting ready to head over to the convention center. The keynote starts at 8, and I need to be there to kick off the conference and introduce the Microsoft speakers.

    My day:

    • 8:15am open the conference and keynote
    • 10:25am – Essential Productivity Hacks with Grant
    • 11am – Redgate lunch with the board
    • 3p – customer meeting
    • 6p – expo hall reception, where I hope to have a beverage

    The rest of the conference has me in the community sessions, though not too many. I like that I’m not too committed as I was buried in 2022 and only slightly less in 2023. The rest of the week:

    • Thur, 12p – Hobby sessions, come hear me talk volleyball
    • Thur, 1p – Community conversations about user groups and events
    • Fri 945a – Community leader meet and greet
    • Fri 1145a – Emcee the Dev Lightning Talks
    • Fri 4p – heading home, well the airport

    This is a slightly compressed week for me as I really only arrived at the conference Tuesday afternoon. I spent a little time in Redmond Mon/Tue and then off Fri as I have Sat am coaching commitments at home.

    If you are attending the Summit and see me, please say hi.

  • Webinar tomorrow: The Role of Databases in the Era of AI

    I’m hosting a webinar tomorrow with Rie Merritt from Microsoft. We’ll be talking about some of the sessions that Microsoft has planned for the PASS Data Community Summit as well as a discussion of how AI is changing our world.

    Register and I’ll see you tomorrow.

  • Back to Boston for SQL Saturday

    I’m leaving again tomorrow for a trip. This time I head back to Boston for a Redgate DevOps in a Day on Thursday and SQL Saturday Boston 2024 on Saturday. This is a fun event and one I’ve attended the last few years. It’s one I look forward to as well.

    If you’re in the area, register and join me Saturday for a packed schedule of learning on PoSh, Fabric, TempDB, AI, and more. If you want something a little lighter, I’m doing a new session on balancing life with career.

    And if you’re coming Saturday, what about coming Friday for a pre-con with Bob Ward with a Cloud Workshop. A good, inexpensive way to get some training from one of the top technical engineers at Microsoft.

    Come join me and invest in yourself and your career at SQL Saturday Boston 2024. And if you want, come Thursday as well to our Redgate Database DevOps in a Day.
