Getting Ready For PASS
Ok So It sucks but I’m still at work at 7:00p.m. MST. Why do Finance departments never tell IT they have plans of upgrades to there Great Plains software? Then again why do IT Departments let Finance control that? J
That’s not what this blog is about right now. It’s about getting ready for the best Conference of the year. That’s right it’s time for PASS again. This year I’ve got a very busy schedule. Not to mention I haven’t even looked at the Session schedule yet.
So here’s the perspective from someone who volunteered way too much. J
Sunday and Monday are going to be time with my wife. J I can’t wait to see some of the city with just her. J
Tuesday is all day Sessions for volunteer’s I don’t even know how I’m going to make it to all of them since I belong to 3 committee’s and they are all having meetings at the same time! Tuesday evening is the opening party and the Sqlservercentral party. Which I’ll probably make some sort of appearance at. After that probably a late night at the bar with some friends!
Wednesday Doing a presentation for Red-Gate at there booth at 11:45 Stop by if you want to hear about Execution plans. Lunch with the mountain men! (You guys rock). Later in the day some Chapter committee information which I’m really looking forward to. Then late that night the Volunteer party. This alone is a good reason to volunteer for PASS last year it rocked and I had a lot of fun. Even if I did leave on the early bus. J
Thursday Some good Breakfast sessions for Mvp’s and of course Steve Ballmer’s keynote which I don’t want to miss. Then more pass meetings throughout the day. I hope to get a few sessions in there also. I hope to hit the PSS Service center also for some of there presentations and the hands on labs. Hopefully I’ll have time for this today or Friday. The night will be wrapped up with an MVP party going on.
Friday Nothing scheduled yet besides sessions. Finally a full day to take in the classes and see what is being presented. Since I haven’t looked at the session schedule yet I guess I don’t know what I’m going to yet but I plan on mapping some things out tomorrow so maybe I’ll update the blog then.
Oh and I’ll be doing interviews and podcasts throughout the conference. Look for the really big guy in the Fedora! Stop by and I’ll interview you. J
Last year I promised that I would post messages from PASS and sessions. I hold no promises this year since I plan to spend most of my nights interviewing or drinking with friends. J
Hope to see you there!
