I uploaded the deck from my session for SQLSaturday #287 Madison 2014 and you can download it here. It was an excellent event! Great organizers, volunteers, venue, speakers – and a matching big turnout with lots of first-time SQLSaturday attendees. Grateful for the experience and hope to be back again next year.
