I haven’t been to San Francisco in about 10 years and I am looking forward to getting back there. The material is a bit refined over the first class and I added a few more real world examples so it should be a fun and educational 3 days.

Here is the event info and URL:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;June 29, 2010 - 10:00 am - 3:00 pm Eastern&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;SQL Server is the platform for business. In this day-long free virtual event, well-known SQL Server performance expert Andrew Kelly will provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to stay on top of three key areas related to peak performance in SQL Server. You'll gain a better understanding of which bottlenecks might be affecting your system, along with the knowledge of how to address them once you find them. Together, these three sessions will give you a solid basis from which to start tackling the performance bottlenecks in SQL Server.&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

Each seminar is $149 and includes a full lunch. Seating is limited, &lt;a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/seminarregistration.aspx?eventid=32"&gt;register&lt;/a&gt; today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attendees of my seminar will get a free copy of my book, &lt;a href="http://kevinekline.com/bibliography/" target="_blank" title="Kevin's Books"&gt;Database Benchmarking: A Practical Approach for Oracle and SQL Server&lt;/a&gt;, plus other free goodies from my employer, &lt;a href="http://sqlserver.quest.com/" target="_blank" title="Great SQL Server Tools from Quest Software"&gt;Quest Software&lt;/a&gt;.
As an added note of explanation, Buck's excellent seminar centers
around detecting and troubleshooting performance problems, while my
seminar focuses on writing high-performance and highly scalable SQL and
Transact-SQL code.&amp;nbsp; Why not sign up for both of them to get
comprehensive education on the entire process of writing great code,
deploying it, and monitoring it for continued excellent performance?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally,
I'll be speaking at user groups in the area leading up to SQL
Saturday.&amp;nbsp; If you can join me at my seminar or at SQL Saturday, maybe
one of these other events better fits your schedule:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tuesday, Oct 13, &lt;b&gt;Tampa&lt;/b&gt; SQL Server User Group (http://www.tampasql.com)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wednesday, Oct 14, &lt;b&gt;Orlando&lt;/b&gt; SQL Server User Group (http://www.opass.org)&lt;br&gt;
