Speaking in Seattle

In March this year I threw my hat in the ring to speak at the Professional Association of SQL Server Summit 2015 in Seattle. Having already decided to attend the Summit and travel from the Emerald Isle to the far side of the U.S., what was there to lose?

I didn't give it too much more thought after that and focused on sharing my knowledge with the SQL Server Community closer to home. Speaking at MTUG Belfast on Microsoft SQL Server Master Data Services in May was great fun not least thanks to the warm welcome from Ryan Dickson and the Belfast User Group.

At the end of June the PASS Summit results were announced, and as luck would have it I managed to land a Lightning Talk speaking slot. Plus the good people at PASS were kind enough to give feedback - key points were keeping the talk abstract relatively light and consider US spelling!

So if you are attending the 2015 PASS Summit, I would be delighted if you could make it to my lightning talk on Microsoft SQL Server Master Data Services – How far can it take your Business?

Looking forward to the 2015 PASS Summit, and Speaking in Seattle!

I can't think of a better envoy, I'm sure you'll do us, and yourself, proud.
