  • Redgate Summit Comes to the Windy City

    I love Chicago. I went to visit three times in 2023: a Redgate event, a volleyball tournament, and a wedding. Each time was a lot of fun and I look forward to coming back at the end of this month.

    The Redgate Summit is coming to Chicago on May 29. Three weeks from today! Register today and save your spot. If you get on the wait list, reach out to your account executive as they have their own tickets to give away.

    We’ve had two amazing Summits in Atlanta and London and we’re bringing the show to the Windy City. We’ll be covering a wide variety of topics related to databases, across three tracks.

    • New and Future Tech – leveling up skills about database DevOps and teams
    • Deep Dive Solutions – technical talks on innovative strategies for delivering software
    • Leadership – focused on strategic initiatives

    We have something for everyone. Technical people, managers, senior leadership, and others. Tell your colleagues and come as a group, taking in different tracks and then discussing them alter.

    I hope to see you there and register for the Redgate Summit in Chicago today.

  • The Redgate Seminar – Brisbane

    On Thursday, May 2, we have the Redgate Seminar in Brisbane. I’ll be at there along with fellow Redgate engineers, account executives, Octopus Deploy engineers, fellow Microsoft MVPs, and lots of data professionals.

    Come join me and we’ll have a great day talking about End to End Database DevOps across a number of sessions and discussion panels.

    Don’t miss the day and register today.

  • Bringing the Redgate Seminar to Brisbane

    We’ve been on a Redgate tour this year, running lots of events to interest, educate, and inspire customers. We know that there are challenges in building and operating database software, and our goals are to help you get better.

    I’m heading to Australia in a few weeks. Hopefully on a slightly larger plane (and inside).

    The Redgate Seminar is in Brisbane on May 2. It’s an all day event where we’ll talk about how Redgate can help you solve your database management challenges, as well as bring DevOps to the database.

    We’ll open the day with a keynote on the state of the database landscape, looking at some of the things we’ve learned from research (our own and industry pieces) as well as from customers. The world of databases is on a journey and I’ll talk through some of that.

    The rest of the day has a number of sessions on products as well as panels where you can hear from not only me, but also industry experts that will join us. We’re also partnering with Octopus Deploy, and you’ll hear from their engineers as well a few of ours.

    If you can get to Brisbane, come join me. Register today and  I promise you a day of fun at the Pacific Hotel in Spring Hill. Redgate Software is a great host at events, and this is a chance to enjoy our hospitality.
