I will be speaking at SQL Saturday #166 in Olympia, WA on November 10. I will be doing my beginner talk on Indexes and Query plans. I am looking forward to it as my first presentation outside of Canada.
SQL Saturdays are free one-day events held all over the world and are part of the great offerings of the Professional Association for SQL Server (www.sqlpass.org). Take a look at the SQL Saturday website (www.sqlsaturday.com) for an event near you and try to make it out to Olympia next Saturday.
I hope to see a familiar face or two!
