24 Hours of PASS: Summit Preview and Me?

I *Might* be speaking at the 24 Hours of PASS: Summit Preview event.  I say “Might” because I’m speaker #25, the first Alternate.  The lineup is pretty freaking awesome so I hope that no one cancels but if they do I’ve got some fresh PowerShell for SQL Server content to show everyone.  I’ll also be moderating questions for Kalen Delaney’s session on Locking tomorrow at 3pm EDT.  Make sure you pick up a case of Red Bull one your way to work because you’re not going to want to miss a minute of this FREE TRAINING.

Also, this time the event has been super-sized with 4 additional Microsoft sessions so if you already signed up and you didn’t know that, check them out; they do require additional registration.   And yes, technically that makes me speaker #29 so let’s just go ahead and change that to speaker #1A 🙂
