SQLSaturday#71 is only a day away! - Final Schedule....

,

Just a final note for all of you planning on attending tomorrow's SQL Saturday #71 event extravaganza up in Boston.  The event is only a day away, although while I wish we can sing "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow", it looks like it will be a bit wet and rainy. But neither sleet, nor hail, nor snow or rain, will keep SQLSaturday#71 from delivering....Well, maybe that's the US Postal Service, but the show WILL go on, and it was be a spectacular one!

First, let us all give thanks to the Fantastic Four and their merry band of volunteers for putting it all together in what's sure to be a Big Bang of Beantown Fun, Networking, Training and Prizes!  Our SQLSaturday#71 team coordinators and community leaders, are, in no particular order, Mike Walsh, Grant Fritchey, Adam Machanic, and Thomas LaRock.  We've heard of these guys before, and they have joined forces to make this great event happen!  Fresh off from "bag stuffing", team sqlsat#71 has made sure that all attendees will receive upon registration some super SWAG!

There will be an abundance of attendees, awesome MVP & expert Speakers, and a truly remarkable list of sponsors.  Some usual vendors, as well as some new appearances by others.  Please check out the sponsor page here: SQLSat#71 Sponsors.  So, please remember to visit their tables, attend their product demos, and of course, don't forget to hand in your raffles for a chance to win some terrific prizes and licenses from your favorite vendors! 

Pearl Knowledge Solutions is also a proud sponsor, and will be giving away FREE SQLCentric licenses, and also anyone who participates in our raffle, will get 15% off SQLcentric Monitoring and Services.

Some logistical info again, SQLSaturday#71 is a training event for SQL Server professionals and those wanting to learn about SQL Server. This event will be held Apr 2 2011 at Babson College Executive Conference Center, 231 Forest St, Wellesley, MA.
