I am sure there is a ton of SQL Server users in the area so come out and support the local user group and take in some SQL knowledge at the same time. The topic is “Getting the most out of SQL Trace” and you can find details here:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.tripass.org/dnn/" href="http://www.tripass.org/dnn/"&gt;http://www.tripass.org/dnn/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We hope to see you there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://sqlblog.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=13242" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andrew_kelly/archive/tags/User+Groups/default.aspx">User Groups</category></item><item><title>New England SQL Users Group &amp; Craig Freedman</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andrew_kelly/archive/2008/05/06/new-england-sql-users-group-craig-freedman.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 19:50:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:6657</guid><dc:creator>Andrew Kelly</dc:creator><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><comments>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andrew_kelly/comments/6657.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andrew_kelly/commentrss.aspx?PostID=6657</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Adam Machanic has already blogged about Craig's visit to New England coming up on May 8th but I wanted to re-iterate some points for the benefit of the folks planning to attend. Due to the large crowd expected we really need you to RSVP if you plan to attend to ensure we have enough chairs and Pizza for everyone:).&amp;#160; &lt;a href="http://www.red-gate.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Red Gate Software&lt;/a&gt; is sponsoring the event and it would be great to get the head count as close as possible to maximize the event potential.
