Fall SQLintersection is coming up soon and we can’t wait!

In just a couple of weeks (9-14 November 2014), we’ll be at our twice-yearly conference, SQLintersection. We’re really looking forward to it as our conference is different than many others… our sessions are hand-picked and combined to create daily “tracks” with themes. Often, I’ll even ask a speaker if they could talk about x or y or z so that it fits in well with that day’s theme. And, I only ask experts in those areas to speak. But, not just experts – truly great speakers. We really want you to walk away from a session empowered. And, nothing is more empowering than truly understanding something. Our speakers are available. If you don’t get a question answered during a session then stay after. Or, come to one of our open Q&A sessions (these are great fun). The point – we’re there to get your questions answered so that you can go back to the office with immediate solutions; immediate ROI for your time away.

SQLintersection: Great Speakers!

I’m so excited about this lineup. All of these speakers are top-rated, SQL experts that have been around in this field for years (some can even boast decades) but are still focused on consulting. Every speaker is a SQL Server MVP (with the except of the Microsoft speakers – but, I don’t think anyone’s going to question their SQL knowledge :)) and some are Microsoft Certified Masters in SQL Server. But, no matter what – ALL are focused on providing the most ROI that’s possible in their session(s) and/or their workshops. Check out this list of speakers:
