Seattle, here we come!

I am excited, and honored that it is time to mark another item off my Epic Life Quest – Speaking at the PASS Summit 2015!

I received notice that a newer session of mine has been accepted for the SQL PASS Summit 2015, running Oct 27-30, 2015.

If you are going to be there, I’d appreciate you considering attending my session. I am already nervous that a talk about security features is going to be an empty room. Actually, I’m always nervous that will be the case, but am usually pleasantly surprised.

The session selected is: Hacking Exposé Too – How Transparent is TDE?

Now the meticulous planning to make a ‘perfect’ presentation starts. This is a newer session that is being honed each time it is presented, but I think I have a fun new approach to use for Summit. Now I just have to get those details sorted out and all pulled together. All I can tell you right now is that it will be a fun session on TDE, worth the wait and certainly worth attending. (I really hope so!)

If you are interested in coming to the PASS Summit 2015 please use the code to the right to save $150 off the cost of registration. You can even click the picture to go straight to the registration page. For each person that uses that code, the PASSDC chapter gets a small donation to help offset costs allowing us to keep providing great sessions along with great meals!

What’s that? Another conference?

I also just heard that I had 2 sessions selected to present a couple of weeks after the PASS Summit at SQL LIVE360!

This will be my second year presenting at this conference. Co-incidentally, the sessions they selected were the ones that were not selected for the PASS Summit!

If you want to see the whole suite of Hacking Exposé sessions I have (so far), as well as an overview of all the security features of SQL Server (Well, almost all of them) sign up today and if you use the code to the left, you can save up to $600 on your registration. That’s pretty darned nice of them!

Is there more on your schedule?

Of course there is. You can see what I have planned on my calendar. There are SQL Saturdays, including the one on DC that I help organize coming up in December, as well as user groups and maybe even some other private in-person training events. I am hoping to get selected for the Las Vegas SQL Saturday, so I can start reaching out more to the West! If it doesn’t happen, I’m sure next year I will find ways to stretch more westward.

Remember too, I have the new WOxPod! podcast I do every week, so if you can’t make an event in person, give listen to that and learn some more about me, others in the community as well as hear my thoughts on topics related to SQL Server.
