The past week at PASS was more informative and fun than I could ever have imagined. By getting involved in the SQL Server community as I have over the past year, I have met so many people via posts and e-mail. It was great to finally meet in person.

I attended several sessions that covered new features or covered topics like security, XML and execution plans. For the most part, the speakers and the topics were fantastic. Some of the highlights included the BI Power Hour, SQLServerCentral's reception, Women in Technology Luncheon, PSS Boot Camp pre-conference session, and Brian Knight and Bayer White's session on SQL Injection.

Thanks to the PASS organization for putting on first-class event.
