Time is running out to register for the Master Immersion training events being held in Dallas, TX by SQLskills. These particular events will be instructed by Paul Randal (blog | twitter), Kimberly Tripp (blog | twitter), and Brent Ozar (blog | twitter) and reflect the new format for the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) program. This means training in the low 4 figures instead of close to $20K, and that you can take at your own pace.
We at SQL Sentry (twitter) are quite proud to be the exclusive sponsor of the first two Master Immersion events ever:
Feb. 21-25, 2011 - Internals and Performance
Mar. 14-18, 2011 - Performance Tuning
What does our sponsorship mean for attendees? Well, we're making sure you eat well by upgrading your breakfast and lunch offering - this means you'll spend more time near the class, with your instructors and your peers. We'll also be providing demonstrations of SQL Sentry's suite of products and our free tool, SQL Sentry Plan Explorer.
I participated in the SQL Immersion event last year, and I can tell you that - without a doubt - you will walk away with a full brain and a lot more ammunition to perform better at your job. And if you are working toward your MCM, there is absolutely no better place to start.
For more details on our sponsorship, see the press release. My boss, Greg Gonzalez (blog | twitter), has blogged about this as well, including 5 reasons you need to go.
