Back to back quality SQLServer sessions! Yes, you heard it right and that’s what 24 Hours of PASS is all about.

The sessions are selected carefully, and are categorized into 6 tracks -

Enterprise Database Administration (DBA)

BI Information Delivery (BID)

BI Platform Architecture, Development & Administration (BIA)

Cloud Application Development & Deployment (CLD)
