Omaha BI/SQL User Group – What?

I recently received an email from this guy named John Morehouse (blog | twitter) about the Omaha SQL/BI User Group Meeting in May.

Imagine my surprise when reading the email and discovering that I was presenting.

Here are the guts of that email.

Can you believe that it’s almost May?!  Time sure does fly!

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday May 7th, 2014 @ 6PM.  Food will be available approximately 20-30 minutes prior to the meeting.  We will be at the Farm Credit Services of America facility and our sponsor for the evening is QCI.

Speaker: Jason Brimhall

Topic: SQL 2012 Extended Events

Extended Events were introduced in SQL Server 2008. With SQL 2012, we have seen a significant upgrade to this feature. Join me for a little adventure into what extended events are. We will discuss how to use extended events to aid in performance tuning and in day to day administration. We will also explore some background and the architecture of extended events.

Ok, so it really was not a surprise.  John asked and I agreed to present.  If you are in the Omaha area – come join the group for a pleasant evening and to learn something (hopefully) about SQL Server.

And yes – the meeting is tonight May 7, 2014.
