Day 1 – SQL Server Virtual Conference – Opens Today!

Day 1 – SQL Server Virtual Conference – Opens Today!
The doors are opening today on day 1 of the virtual conference (register here) – today we have an opening mini-session on SQL Injection (part 1 of 2!) and sessions on SQL Server Profiler, SQL Server T-SQL Enhancements, Introduction to SSIS, SQL Server 2008 Filtered Indexes and Statistics and even a session on Reporting Services for the DBA. These and others – and don’t forget, it works regardless of your timezone because we’re having the sessions in three different time blocks during the day. Speakers are ready to chat with you, transcripts are ready to go.

I Hope we’ll see you there!
