Well, there are some great reasons for where we&#8217;re going:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No matter where we teach, 80-90% of students are from somewhere else and travel to the class. There&#8217;s a huge benefit to being able to (mostly) disconnect from your life to really immerse yourself in learning.<\/li>\n<li>We can&#8217;t go everywhere. For those of you who absolutely can&#8217;t travel, we have our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sqlskills.com\/sql-server-training\/online-training\/\" target=\"_blank\">online courses up on Pluralsight<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve used the same great hotels in Tampa, Chicago, and Bellevue since 2011. We know them really well and they know us really well.
