Bill Baker, Microsoft General Manager for SQL Server Business Intelligence, will kick off the second round of the Get Ready for SQL Server 2005 Roadshow series next Tuesday, July 26, in Portland at the Hilton Portland & Executive Tower. The Seattle event is scheduled for Thursday, July 28, at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers.
"We've been working hard on SQL Server 2005," said Baker, who will deliver keynote sessions about SQL Server 2005 innovations in Portland and Seattle. "We're looking forward to traveling the country to meet with our users, and showing them some of the amazing things they can do in their businesses with the technology they've been working on."
The second round of the roadshow, which will visit 15 cities between July 26 and September 22, follows a highly successful spring series in April and May that attracted an average of about 300 attendees per city. Attendees were drawn to the event because of its technical, independent content focused on business intelligence, administration, and development. The training companies contributing content for this series are Hitachi Consulting, Scability Experts, and Solid Quality Learning. Database administrators, developers, and business intelligence (BI) professionals can learn first-hand how to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 in this one-day intensive course, produced by SQL Server Magazine and the Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) and sponsored by Microsoft. The fee for the event is $99 for pre-registration online and $150 for walk-in registration. The fee includes a full day of technical content, breakfast, lunch, a one-year subscription to SQL Server Magazine, a one-year membership to PASS, an attendee bag, roadshow T-shirt, and the opportunity to win prizes from various sponsors.
