This Saturday, major event that will shake the halls of

power gets under way for an all-day non-stop super event.  Bringing real change to Washington, hundreds

of professionals will be converging on the Capital for a day to influence the

future careers of so many brethren.  No,

this isn’t the Presidential inauguration we’re talking about, it’s SQLSaturday #173.  So, let’s get down in DC, for SQLSaturday

#173.  The fantastic filibuster features

so many of our sql friends, family, MVP’s and experts dealing out unfettered

knowledge of all things SQL with their excellent presentations!

This special event is brought to us by Founder / CEO /

Lead Consultant at WaterOx Consulting, Inc. Christopher Bell,

and the SQLSaturday #173 team.  I

congratulate him and his team for putting together such a great lineup of speakers, sponsors and events.  Check out the highlighted links for the

schedule sessions and times.  Come down

to DC, and you will get an awesome treat with four separate professional tracks

of learning.  The tracks offer something

for everyone, 2 BI tracks, 2 DBA, 1 Developer, and 1 Professional Development

track.

So many of my friends and #SQLFamily 

will be there like Tim Radney, Joe D’Antoni, Mike Walsh, Bill Pearson, Andy

Leonard, John Sterrett, Michael Corey and Wayne Sheffield.  Other notables like Brian Moran, Jason Hall,

Eddie Wuerch, along with Ryan Brickey and Kevin Goode educate us on the

professional development side – how we as SQL and technical professionals can

get started, improve, excel and succeed in our technical careers.  Allen White, Rob Volk, Stacey Misner , Kevin

Boles, Konstatin Melamud, Jason Horner,  Jason

Thomas, David Klee, Kevin Goff, Geoff Johnson, Steven Wright, Ira Whiteside,

Derek Dai, and Carlton Ramsey – to name a few. 

Actually, I think I got all the speakers with due credit :-)
