I’m a Traveling Man

We are coming into quite a busy time for my speaking schedule. I’m hitting the road. It does one thing for me that I truly love, I get to talk to people. So, if you have questions, want to chat, need to call me a pompous know-it-all to my face, I’ve got some opportunities for you.

Next week, April 13-16, is SQL Intersection. You can register by clicking here. The following week, I’ve got two events. First, on Friday April 25th, Red Gate Software is hosting a free half day SQL in the City Seminar in the Chicago area. We’ll be talking database deployment all day. Go here to register, but don’t wait, seats absolutely are limited. And, since this is a Red Gate event, at the end of the day, I’ll buy you a beverage or two while we exchange war stories. The next day, Saturday April 26th, is SQL Saturday Chicago I’ll be presenting a session. Check out the lineup and get yourself registered. That’s it for April.

May gets really fun. Saturday May 3 is SQL Saturday Atlanta. This is one of those “I was there” events for the Atlanta area. I’ll be there. Saturday May 17 is SQL Saturday Detroit. This one, at the moment, looks pretty intimate, but that means you get to hang out with Jeff Moden, Ginger Ford, Allen White, Tim Ford and ask questions until you run out of questions. I wouldn’t miss it if I lived in that area. Heck, I don’t live in that area and I’ll be there too. Then I get to go on my Carolina Cruise. I’m visiting three user groups in three days in the Carolinas. First up is Raleigh at the Triangle SQL Server User Group on the 20th. Then I get to Charlotte (and that was a great city for hosting the PASS Summit) on the 21st. Finally I’m off to Columbia and the Midland PASS Chapter on the 22nd. That’s going to be a blast. And we’re not done with May. On the 27th and 28th I’m going to hop the pond to speak at TechoRama in Belgium. I’m terribly excited about this event. Maybe it’s just because I like Belgian beer, but it really does look pretty cool. Go here to get registered. And I love the count-down clock on the web page. That’s exactly how I feel.

In June I come back over to my side of the pond. There are some events we’re still setting up. But the ones I know I’m going to are SQL Saturday Louisville on the 21st of May. But, the day before, on the 20th, I have an all day seminar on query tuning. Click here to register. We should have another SQL in the City Seminar set up for June as well as a couple of more SQL Saturday events. I’ll post once I learn more.

July is still pretty open (please, please, please, OH, PLEASE, I want to got to SQL Bits), but I do have another all day seminar on query tuning set up for Albany. You can go here to register. That’s the day before SQL Saturday Albany. It’s going to be their first event, so let’s help make it a great one.

As the schedule for June and July solidifies I’ll publish another listing. Let’s get together and talk.
