<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThe last post is from our most recent event in Las Vegas this past fall. It was our biggest show yet and while we’ve largely kept our focus on ROI and technical content the same (performance \/ troubleshooting \/ tales-from-the-trenches with best practices on how to fix them<\/em>) we’ve also added even more social events so that you really get time to intersect with the conference attendees and speakers. The addition of the SQL-specific evening event SQLafterDark<\/strong> was wildly popular from our Fall show and that’s returning for Spring!<\/p>\n And, so are many of our phenomenal speakers. But, we also have a few new industry-experts rounding out our line-up. We’re still working out a few remaining sessions but the show is already packed with enough to keep you busy for weeks after the show ends.<\/p>\n Once again, I think a great show starts with great speakers and current \/ useful content. All of these speakers are industry-experts that have worked in data \/\u00a0SQL\u00a0for years (some can even boast decades) but all are still focused on consulting and working in the trenches. 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. Check out this list of speakers:<\/p>\n The show officially runs from\u00a0Monday, May 18\u00a0through Thursday, May 21\u00a0but there are both pre-conference and post-conference workshops that extend the show over a total of up to 6 full days. For the full conference, you\u2019ll want to be there from Sunday, May 17\u00a0through Friday, May 22.<\/p>\n If you want practical information delivered by speakers that not-only know the technologies but are competent and consistently, highly-rated presenters \u2013 this is the show for you. You will understand the\u00a0RIGHT<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0features to troubleshoot and solve your performance and availability problems now!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSQLintersection: Great Speakers!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
