Top SQL Server Experts Headline PASS Summit 2009 Pre/Post-Conference Seminars
The Professional Association for SQL Server’s PASS Summit 2009 conference will feature an impressive roster of top SQL Server experts--including Itzik Ben-Gan, Kalen Delaney, Brian Knight, and Kimberly Tripp--for 2 full days of deep-dive Pre/Post-Conference Seminars on Nov. 2 and Nov. 6, 2009.
Chicago, IL, June 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Professional Association for SQL Server’s PASS Summit 2009 conference will feature an impressive roster of top SQL Server experts for 2 full days of deep-dive Pre/Post-Conference Seminars on Nov. 2 and Nov. 6, 2009.
The single largest gathering of Microsoft SQL Server professionals in the world, PASS Summit returns this fall to the Washington State Convention & Trade Center in Seattle, WA – bookending the Nov. 2-5 conference with 14 in-depth seminars by industry leaders and Microsoft experts.
Top-rated speaker and SQL Server internals expert Kalen Delaney returns to PASS Summit to present her Pre-Conference Seminar, “Care and Feeding of the Transaction Log.” “With the full-day format, we can bring concepts to life for attendees,” Delaney asserts. “We’re able to work through concrete code examples, explore practical demos, and present many aspects of the technology to help attendees make the best decisions about how to implement the tips and techniques in their own environments.”
“I really appreciate both the regular technical sessions at PASS as well as the full-day seminars—they are a great complement to each other,” notes veteran PASS speaker Itzik Ben-Gan, who is delivering a Post-Conference Seminar on query and index tuning. “The main event’s breakout sessions are short and let you quickly gain information about many different subjects. But the full-day Pre/Post-Conference Seminars really give you that deep dive into a certain subject area as well as more personal interaction with the speaker.”
PASS has scheduled its first 10 Pre/Post-Conference Seminars, listed below, as well as a special 2-hour pre-conference workshop on business networking by Don Gabor, career coach and best-selling author of How to Start a Conversation and Make Friends:
Monday, Nov. 2:

- Building a Microsoft Data Warehousing Platform, Brian Knight, Pragmatic Works
- Delivering Business Intelligence to the Masses, Peter Myers, Solid Quality Mentors
- Care and Feeding of the Transaction Log, Kalen Delaney, SQLearning
- SQL Server 2005/2008: Indexing for Performance, Kimberly Tripp, SQLskills.com
- 2-hour Workshop: Networking to Build Business Contacts, Don Gabor
Friday, Nov. 6:
- Query and Index Tuning for SQL Server 2005 and 2008, Itzik Ben-Gan, Solid Quality Mentors

PASS will be offering four more day-long seminars by Microsoft and Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) to the Pre/Post-Conference lineup. See the PASS Summit 2009 Pre/Post-Conference Seminars page (http://summit2009.sqlpass.org/Agenda/PrePostConferenceSessions.aspx) for details as they are finalized.
“The ability that a day-long workshop gives you to walk through a complete business intelligence design solution with attendees is invaluable,” says Brian Knight, whose Pre-Conference Seminar will step attendees through the process of building a data warehouse platform using the entire BI stack. “We have time to cover the topic end-to-end, see how different concepts build on each other, and interact with and learn from each other.”
Registration cost for each technical seminar is $395; the networking workshop registration fee is $60 per person. Visit the PASS Summit Web site at www.PASSsummit.com to view the full list of Pre/Post-Conference Seminars.
PASS Summit 2009 will also feature:
