Frequently you'll see people refer to meeting at PASS or going to PASS. Then they're not talking about the Professional Association of SQL Server users, as linked above, but the PASS Community Summit[/url].

What is the advantage of going to PASS summit?

It's a great opportunity to meet other SQL Server professionals and get information about all aspects of SQL Server.

Yeah, all the training, access to Microsoft programmers, PSS, the vendors, the swag, Steve's magnificent night of gambling... All great stuff.
The absolute most important part of the Summit is getting together with your peers from across the country. Building a network of individuals that you can help and that can help you. If nothing else, having a shoulder to cry on that really understands why you're crying. If you go and you don't spend most of your time talking to people, you've at least partially wasted the trip.

QFT.
Been able to speak one on one with some of the top SQL experts in the world is amazingly useful. Been able to sit down with your peers, swap war stories and see how they solve problems is invaluable.

I had to go and look QFT up. :ermm:
See, even when you're not teaching, you're teaching. There's a darn good reason you're an MVP.

I have gone for the past 6 years and would count it as an invaluable experience.
