The Virtual Chapters of PASS are asked to host sessions during this Fall’s 24 Hours of PASS preview for the PASS Summit in Seattle, WA Nov 5th-9th. The Data Architecture VC gets to host Rod presenting on BI Architecture With SQL 2012 & SharePoint 2010. This is a good preview of Rod presentation skills for the pre-conference session, Dashboards with Dashboard Designer & PerformancePoint Services 2010 [BID-398-P], he is doing on Monday during the Summit. I am actually attending the session to help with some PerformancePoint dashboards I am working on at Turner.
The Data Architecture virtual chapter has monthly webcast by SQL Server experts in the community. October will have Dr. SQL – Louis Davidson – presenting part 2 of his session on Designing for Common Problems with SQL Server.
The 24 Hours of PASS have being going on for the past 3-4 years with the fall session representing some of the pre-conference and spotlight sessions for the PASS Summit. I really enjoy going to at least one of these precons each year while at the Summit. It has always been a good one day training on a subject.
Please go register for 24-Hours of PASS and the Summit and get some training for SQL Server
