SQLBits 9 Liverpool

The next SQLBits will be in Liverpool, on 29th September (Thursday) to 1st October (Saturday).

It will be at The Adelphi Hotel, Ranelagh Place, L3 5UL, very near Liverpool Central Rail station.

The sessions are here. The speakers are here.

Steve Jones will be presenting (if chosen). I was in contact with him when I was writing articles for SQL Server Central, of which he was (still is) the editor. SQL Server Central is the largest SQL Server forum in the world. He submitted 2 sessions: “Branding yourself for a dream job”, and “Preparation for disaster”.

Duncan Sutcliffe submitted 3 sessions: “Using  Data Capture in ETL Routines”, “Kerberos – All you need to know in 1 hour”, “Making Full Use of SharePoint for Business Intelligence”. That Kerberos session will be very interesting, as a lot of people implementing SSAS client tool / SharePoint / .NET front end app in corporations are caught up in the “Configuring Kerberos” business. After a few weeks configuring Kerberos in a client, a Kerberos expert said to me “If we can package our Kerberos knowledge  into a product, we’ll be rich!”

Marco Russo, Alberto Ferrari, Alex Whittles and Jennifer Stirrup also submitted their sessions.
