In addition to being at at #40 as an attendee, I also had Don Gabor there to take a look at our networking efforts, presentation styles, and more, in part to help us do SQLSaturday better right now, in part so that he can join our SQLSaturday meeting at the PASS Summit this fall (Monday […]
Read more "More Notes from SQLSaturday #40"Had a reasonably uneventful four drive to Miramar Friday, arriving in time to check in at the hotel and then leave again to pick up Don Gabor at the airport, then off to Panera for tea/coffee and chat, and then met up with Jack Corbett before we headed to the speaker dinner. The speaker dinner […]
Read more "Notes on SQLSaturday #40"Just released, http://www.sqlsaturday.com/51/schedule.aspx?sat=51. Five tracks, lots of good speakers, but I see a few new names too. Looks like a good mix. The PASS Board is meeting in Nashville on the Thursday/Friday prior to the event, so a good number of us will be attending (though we probably would have gone anyway!).
Read more "Schedule Published for SQLSaturday #51 in Nashville"I’ll be leaving Friday morning with my family to go to Miramar, Fla, for the 2nd annual SQLSaturday there. I’m doing a presentation along with a lot of other speakers, and pleased to see a few new names on the schedule this time. Looking forward to the event, but not the four hour drive!
Read more "SQLSaturday #40 is Almost Here – July 31, 2010"For the past couple years we’ve had a few different documents that covered how to run a SQLSaturday, but as you all know building and maintaining documentation is hard, and we just didn’t have a good process for capturing new lessons and folding them in. A couple months back I set up the wiki and […]

Read more "Reminder – Final Day for Speaker Abstracts for SQLSaturday #49!"We’re pleased to announce that Louis Davidson will be our pre-con speaker this year at SQLSaturday #49 in Orlando. Louis will be presenting a one day seminar on database design, a worthy topic and one about which Louis is both knowledgeable and passionate, looking forward to attending it myself! The competition was definitely fierce, all […]
Read more "SQLSaturday #49 Pre-Con Announced"As will happen from time to time, we’ve had two changes on the schedule, wanted to make sure everyone catches them so as not to show up and have no one there! SQLSaturday #45 in Louisville has been moved to January 22, 2011. This will be their second annual event, in the snow this time! […]
Read more "SQLSaturday Schedule Changes"In previous years we’ve just invited a speaker or two to submit a presentation for an all day paid event (pre-con) for SQLSaturday Orlando. This year we announced it (though we didn’t promote it much after that) and we got a really nice variety. Our next step is to send out a survey to our […]
Read more "Potential Pre-Cons for SQLSaturday #49"Bayer White has announced the call for speakers for the 2010 Jacksonville Code Camp to be held August 28, 2010 at the University of North Florida. They usually have a sql track – don’t think it’s all just developers attending! It’s a dilemma for me, falling the weekend after Nashville SQLSaturday #51. I’ve been trying […]
