Can't believe we're ONLY 10 days out from what's shaping up to be quite an extraordinary awesome event! We've been talking about it some time now, and figure the T-Minus 10-day mark would be a good opportunity to give all you folks interested and/or registered attendees an event update, summarizing a sizzling super Saturday of SQLInspiration, November 12, 2011.
There is STILL TIME to register, and though seating is limited, they are still available. Don't know if my next blog, I could say the same, so no more procrastination, if you were thinking about registering, DO IT NOW!! Keep reading and find out why you DON'T want to miss it!
We have great sponsors, Red Gate, Embarcadero, Confio, and Microsoft, and like to thank each and every one of them for their support!
Also, locally, we are being supported by the NJ SQL User's Group (NJSUG), led by NJSUG lead and SQLInspireNYC co-coordinator Melissa Demsak, aka SQLDiva. Let's also give a shout-out and thanks to Matt Velic, SQL blogger and SQLPeople evangelist.
Now for some commercial play-on-words: Let's ignite this event into space and embarc-adero on an uplifting adventure that will take you for a hadoop beyond the cloud! How's that for keyword placement 😉
Earlier today, the genius behind the SQLPeople, Mr. Andy Leonard tweeted (@AndyLeonard) us a riddle. It's getting very exciting, and Andy's creative juices are flowing!
