How could you possibly argue with getting 8 straight hours of SQL Server Performance training for FREE?
You can’t! Go check out the annual Performance Palooza hosted by the Performance Virtual Chapter on July 23rd, 2015. This is a virtual online event open to the public and it’s absolutely free. We’ll have 8 back to back sessions with start times from 10am to 5pm Central Time.
How are we able to provide all of this for free? We want to thank Solarwinds for sponsoring our chapter and this event so that we can bring it to you completely free!
In fact Solarwinds was so generous that we will be raffling a $50 Amazon gift card to a random attendee out of every single session.
Thanks Solarwinds!
