There's a nice new facility on the sqlpass.org web site that allows you to plan your itinerary for next week's conference. In past years, we have always used a paper copy that gets much maligned during the week. Now we can plan everything online, upload to Outlook, download to our cell phone and away we go to Seattle. You can even download the presentations in advance for a greener conference all round. No more paper copies. Very cool.

If you can't go this year, then this blog is a bit like the email I received years ago from a person at corporate HQ to "All employees worldwide" with the subject "There is chocolate cake in the kitchen - help yourself". But don't worry, I'll be blogging while I'm there. And there will be a set of DVDs for all the sessions available shortly after the conference. I'll be sharing my set with the folks at my local PASS chapter. If no-one is attending, then why not chip together for a set to share? It's worth it.
cheers
