The early bird pricing for the PASS Data Community Summit ends this week, on Jul 26. After that, there is a bump, so let you boss know this is the time to register. If you’re considering attending, then you essentially get one night in a hotel for free if you register this week.
This the the largest and best conference for data professionals. You’ll have experts from all over the world and quite a few Microsoft developers attending. This is a great chance to network with them, learn, and ask questions that might save a support case or help you solve a problem.
Talk to your boss about the event and explain how this benefits your career and helps the company. Many people have found this invaluable over the years as they bring knowledge and contacts back to their organization.
Make a case, get approval, and get registered today and I’ll see you in Seattle this November.
