SQL Server Virtual Conference
February 19, 20 and 21st
Conferences are an awesome learning opportunity where people can draw off the knowledge
of experts in an industry, ask specific questions and see demonstrations that can’t always
be performed in other arenas. The problem with most conferences is that they’re too expensive
for an individual trying to further their career or education, with the average price of a
conference exceeding $1500 for three days.
SSWUG.org has put together a virtual conference that will
address each one of the issues an individual would face during a conventional
conference. The virtual conference offers four tracks that are designed to
help individuals do everything, from installing SQL Server, to writing their
first stored procedures, and even troubleshooting performance issues.
Every attendee will receive full transcripts to all
sessions, on-demand access for one week after the conference, a subscription to
CoDe Magazine and a whole lot more.
