IMTC Presentation Posted

Earlier this year, I was fortunate to visit Dublin, Ireland to speak at the Irish Microsoft Technical Conference (IMTC). Chuck Boyce from www.SQLServerDVD.com was there recording and streaming sessions. He was unable to stream my session live, but he did get it recorded. Chuck has just posted my session on SQL Server Express 2005 (2008 wasn't out yet). Check out Chuck's website and perhaps learn something about SQL Server Express.

In case you did not hear, PASS Call for Speakers is now open!

In the latest PASS Community Connector, there is a call for Speakers for this year's summit in Seattle in November. If you have never been to Seattle in November, it really makes you want to learn more about SQL Server in the breakout sessions. ;-) But seriously, it is a great venue to meet other SQL Server professionals and meet the MSFT who actually write the code for SQL Server itself. You know that since MSFT is located in nearby Redmond that the place will be very accessible to MSFT developers and managers.

Also, did you know that the abstracts that are submitted are reviewed/selected by a committee of PASS Volunteers just like you?

Join other industry professionals and help build the SQL Server community as a 2008 PASS Community Summit speaker in Seattle, Washington, November 18-21. Act now and submit an abstract by the March 28^th Deadline.

All speakers receive:

Complimentary registration to the 2008 PASS Community Summit

Microsoft employees are encouraged to submit presentations using the online submission website. Please note that any Microsoft submissions will be reviewed and abstract status will be determined by Microsoft.
