As we head into our 8th SQLintersection next month, I’m excited to say that it’s our most diverse, complete, and information-packed show yet! We\u00a0have\u00a03 precon days at\u00a0the\u00a0show and with our postcon day, there are 10\u00a0full-day workshops from which to choose. We have SQL keynotes that are relevant and timely, including Microsoft expert Bob Ward and one from SQL Sentry\u00a0about productivity using their fantastic tools (especially cool now that all version of Plan Explorer are free!), plus\u00a040 technology-focused (NOT marketing) sessions from which to choose.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll learn proven problem-solving techniques and technologies you can implement immediately.\u00a0Our focus is around performance monitoring, troubleshooting, designing for scale and performance, cloud, as well as new features in SQL Server 2012, 2014, and 2016. It\u2019s time to determine your 2008 migration strategy \u2013 should you upgrade to 2016 directly? This is the place to figure that out!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in how we got here \u2013 check out some of Kimberly’s past posts:<\/p>\n

  2. SQLintersection\u2019s Fall Conference \u2013 It\u2019s all about ROI!<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Fall SQLintersection is coming up soon and we can\u2019t wait!<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. SQLintersection Conference and SQLafterDark Evening Event \u2013 what a fantastic week in Vegas<\/a>\"SQLafterDark\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With minimal to no marketing filler, we\u2019ve largely kept our conference focus on ROI and technical content (performance \/ troubleshooting \/ tales-from-the-trenches with best practices on how to fix them\u00a0) <\/em>but we\u2019ve 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\u00a0SQLafterDark<\/strong> was wildly popular from some of our past\u00a0shows and that\u2019s returning for Fall!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    SQLintersection: Great Speakers!<\/strong><\/h2>\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. And, they’re good presenters! Not only will you hear useful content but you’ll do so in a way that’s digestible and applicable. Every speaker is either an MCM (Master), a\u00a0SQL Server MVP, (or both<\/em>), or a Microsoft employee. But, regardless of their official credentials \u2013 ALL are focused on providing the most ROI that\u2019s possible in their session(s) and\/or their workshops. Check out this phenomenal list of speakers:<\/p>\n
