I Feel a little like a kid on Christimas eve!!! I’m looking forward to spending 3 full days focusing on the SQL Server technologies. No work, No errands, No Hubby and Kids. Just me and SQL Server. </p> <p> I attended this conference back in 2001 and had a great time. I remember coming to the conference with at least 3 unsolved issues and returning home with my issues solved plus more. I specifically remember working on an issue with a stored procedure that needed to do a geographical proximity calcutation(circular distance from a central point). At the conference, I met a few guys from the United Postal Service who had encountered the same issue. Before lunch was over, my issue was solved!! </p> <p> Top Reasons I am attending this conference: </p> <p> #4: Find answers to my questions. </p> <p> #3: To get 3 days of Training from Microsoft and SQL Server Gurus. </p> <p> #2: Network with my peers. A conversation can sometimes save hours of work!! </p> <p> #1: See Yukon and Reporting Services in action. <img src="http://sqldiva.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=609" width="1" height="1">LIVE From the SQL Server Magazine Connections Conference
