We&#8217;re really looking forward to it as our conference is different than many others&#8230; our sessions are hand-picked and combined to create daily &#8220;tracks&#8221; with themes. Often, I&#8217;ll even ask a speaker if they could talk about <em><strong>x<\/strong><\/em> or\u00a0<strong><em>y<\/em><\/strong> or\u00a0<strong><em>z<\/em><\/strong> so that it fits in well with that day&#8217;s theme. And, I only ask experts in those areas to speak. But, not just experts &#8211; 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&#8217;t get a question answered <em>during<\/em> a session then stay after. Or, come to one of our open Q&amp;A sessions (these are great fun). The point &#8211; we&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>SQLintersection: Great Speakers!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m 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 \u2013 but, I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s going to question their SQL knowledge :)) and some are Microsoft Certified Masters in SQL Server. But, no matter what \u2013 ALL are focused on providing the most ROI that\u2019s possible in their session(s) and\/or their workshops.
