  • Speaking at the PASS Data Community Summit

    I’m honored to be speaking at the PASS Data Community Summit in Seattle this fall. I’ll be delivering a Professional Development session (Blogging for the Tech Professional), which might be more interesting this year with so many people looking for work. Blogging is a great way to show some skills, let managers perform some due diligence, and help drive the interview. If you can come, register now for savings.

    There are lots of great speakers that will be there as well, and it’s quite a lineup. The exact lineup for the main conference isn’t out, but the list of speakers is nice. There are also a great set of pre-cons to choose from as well.

    This is one of the best data conferences to attend and I’ve been lucky enough to go most years and learn lots while networking with fellow data professionals.

    Talk to your organization and make a case to come. Register early for savings, and plan on a busy week of learning, networking, and notes. Bring back practical tips, tricks, and ideas to your boss and they’ll send you again next year.

    The lineup is small and short, but it’s a one pre-con day with two half-day sessions and then a one full day of hour long sessions. The pre-cons include Fabric, leadership, performance tuning and more. All from industry experts. The regular sessions are across four tracks with a variety of things you can learn during the 5 time slots throughout the day.

    There is also a Redgate Summit on Friday. That’s got Redgate specific content, but if you’re interested (or a customer), stay an extra day for that as well.
