September, October, and November are going to be a whirlwind this year – after 3 weeks in the UK and Ireland in September, teaching and the San Francisco Power Workshop in October, we have three back-to-back conference weeks in Barcelona, Las Vegas, and back to Seattle! Hey – who booked that schedule?!?!?! Well, at least it helps us keep our top frequent-flyer status on United :-)
Here’s the line-up – see our Upcoming Events page for all the abstracts (including those from Bob Beauchemin and Stacia Misner too).
TechEd EMEA IT Pro, November 3-7, Barcelona, Spain

- Are Your Indexing Strategies Working?
- Corruption Survival Techniques: From Detection to Recovery
- Essential Database Maintenance
