What a huge honor. As I understand it, I am the first Venezuelan ever to speak at PASS. I'm super excited!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Lightning Talk is called "Quick Tips to Enhance tempdb Performance", and I have to practice this talk a lot. I'll have exactly 5 minutes to deliver it, and discussions about tempdb performance can go on for hours. So I need to keep it concise and to the point.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A full lineup of all Lightning Talks can be found here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.sqlpass.org/summit/2011/SummitContent/LightningTalks2011.aspx"&gt;http://www.sqlpass.org/summit/2011/SummitContent/LightningTalks2011.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, I changed my Twitter handle to @DBArgenis, to better reflect who I am, my passion and commitment towards the SQL Server community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can't wait for the Summit now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://sqlblog.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=38055" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/argenis_fernandez/archive/tags/PASS/default.aspx">PASS</category><category domain="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/argenis_fernandez/archive/tags/SQL+Server/default.aspx">SQL Server</category><category domain="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/argenis_fernandez/archive/tags/Twitter/default.aspx">Twitter</category></item></channel></rss>
