SQL Server Event Schedule for H1 2013

I’ve had a couple of months at home, focusing on consulting engagements, and now I’m about to enter back in to conference / Immersion Event season. I’ll still be consulting, but half of the time I’ll be doing it from a hotel room.

While it is nice to interact with people via email, phone and social media – I much prefer getting a chance to see people in person. Here are the public events I’ll be speaking & teaching at the first half of this year:

February 11 – 15, 2013: IE2: Immersion Event on Performance Tuning, Tampa, Florida
February 23, 2013: SQLSaturday Silicon Valley, Mountain View, California
April 6, 2013: SQLSaturday Omaha, Nebraska
April 8 – 11, 2013: SQLIntersection, Las Vegas, Nevada
May 6 – 10, 2013: IE2: Immersion Event on Performance Tuning, Chicago, Illinois
May 13 – 17, 2013: IE3: Immersion Event on High Availability & Disaster Recovery, Chicago, Illinois
June 7 – 8, 2013: SQLSaturday Edinburgh, Scotland
June 10 – 14, 2013: IE2: Immersion Event on Performance Tuning, London, UK
June 17 – 21, 2013: IE3: Immersion Event on High Availability & Disaster Recovery, London, UK

Hope to see you at one (or more) of these events!
