Hi. I’m with Bob

I love how blog posts can cascade into each other. I follow Chris Yates’ (b|t) blog. He wrote a post that started with Bob Pusateri (b|t). And here I am joining the blog party. Hopefully you too will join the blog party and write about something you are thankful for.

My Intro to SQLFamily

My Intro to #SQLFamily

By trade, I’m a Cognos BI developer that jumped the fence to MS SQL BI a few years ago. My first encounter with SQLfamily was at SQL Saturday #63, April 2, 2011 in Dallas, Texas.

First SQL Saturdays and SQL Rally

I came to a SQL Saturay #63 pre-con to learn more about the BI stack.  There, I met Sri and learned about the North Texas User Group.  I didn’t know anyone in town or in SQL, so after…

All the excitement and countdown for attending PASS Summit is finally over, and I must say I had a great time attending my first PASS Summit this year. Three cheers to everyone in #SQLFamily who directly/indirectly contributed towards the success of this event.

It was a 4 days marathon with events starting as early as 6.45 AM and lasting till midnight with few of the awesome after parties. The weather was crazy at Seattle during the last 2 days and it even snowed on the last day – which was nice to see, but it was damn cold out there walking down the downtown streets. I reached back home on Saturday – from snow at Seattle to being greeted by a 80 F at Birmingham!

PASS Summit was a unique conference in so many ways. The best part – as a first timer or a normal attendee, you won’t get lost in the crowd and be left all alone. You have these nice ribbons which you get like First Timers, SQL Saturday Organizers, Local Group Leaders, Speaker and more – which will help others to immediately strike a conversation with you. There were multiple programs and events just targeting towards the first timers which makes it so much easier and feel at home – Buddy Program, First-Timer Orientation and Networking session, Birds of a Feather Luncheon, Community Zone and Sessions by PASS Committee etc.

This was my 1st PASS Summit experience and I had a great time. I was quite excited to be presenting at PASS Summit and was glad that my talk on ‘Making Developers lives easier with SQL Server 2016‘ went well and was very interactive. It was a full house and there were lot of good questions which came in. This was very satisfying for me because I knew that folks were with me during the entire session. I got good feedback from many of the attendees. Few of them followed me in Twitter and also sent LinkedIn requests – a great way to keep in touch even after the Summit. I would request all who attended my session to please complete their session evaluations, and help me to improve and also help the event to get better content and quality talks next time.

Getting back to work after a week of Summit is tough and there will be so many to-do items on your plate – but I wanted to make sure I dedicate 30 min time to write a quick blog post summing up my PASS Summit experience. Also at PASS Summit, I made sure to click lot of pictures so that I can look back on those few years down the lane – that would be so awesome!

I loved the focused group discussions organized by the Community Team for SQL Saturday Organizers and Local Group Leaders. There were lot of good discussions and learnings from what other successful user groups do to manage their events better.

Day 1 and Day 2 Keynotes were really good – lot of good content and information – and not a surprise – great speakers!

The technical sessions by the Microsoft Tiger Team about the latest and greatest in SQL Server and Data Platform were awesome. I plan to download the presentation pdf and go through them in the upcoming days.

Loved the fact that PASS records all the sessions because even if you attend the Summit – it is literally impossible to pick and choose the sessions you want to attend, amidst all the networking and walking around talking with known faces and also making new friends. Not to forget the awesome line of sponsors, the booths in the Exhibit Halls and collecting all the swag 🙂

Building up your schedule I guess is the toughest thing to do in PASS Summit. So many top notch speakers, so many tracks and so many good topics to select from! I did build up my schedule before time, but made so many changes at run time and ended up attending a whole different set of sessions, than what I had initially planned for! This is actually a good problem to have – I love it when conferences have excellent content and attendees are in a dilemma to choose one among multiple good sessions 🙂 I got a flavor of few of the awesome speakers in the SQL Community and will probably try to take in some key learning and have it reflected in my future mode of presentation.

The Welcome Reception on Tuesday evening was grand – the Halloween themed party with lot of folks, cool music and good food.

I attended as many sessions as I could. But also made sure to visit all the sponsors and understand what services they provide. I have got all the required information back so that I could share it with my User Group during this month meeting. I also spent a good amount of time networking.

The Microsoft Tiger Team were providing live support/guidance on technical issues and I made sure to spend time with them discussing few issues which I have been working on. I saw a large number of attendees making great use of this platform to get their questions answered.

Big round of thanks to Andy Nakamura, who was my PASS Summit Buddy who provided all the required information, helped answer all my questions and also provided me the much needed support during my presentation by being there in the audience.

Meeting with Brent Ozar and Pinal Dave was awesome and getting an opportunity to get clicked on a single frame was an icing on the cake –

There were so many cool After Parties hosted by all the sponsors. I was not able to make it to majority of them, since I was completely drained out by the evening.

Awesome conference overall. Thanks to all the PASS Committee, Organizers, Sponsors, SQL Family and Attendees for making this event a huge success. Keep rocking and hope to meet you again in upcoming conferences.

One thing I would like to change/suggest – I would love to see more sessions focused towards Developers in future PASS Summit. I met with lot of folks during the Summit and majority of them were developers and I think having more developer-centric tracks will be awesome. I was quite pleased to see some talks around .NET APIs, Dapper etc and hopefully in future we will have a better mix of sessions where the audience are ‘Developers’ and not primarily ‘DBAs’. Having better developers will solve half of the world’s problem, right?

My PASS Summit 2017 Experience All the excitement and countdown for attending PASS Summit is finally over, and I must say I had a great time attending my first PASS Summit this year.

[samirbehara-dotnetvibes]

The buzz in twitter says it all. The #SQLFamily is all pumped up for a great PASS Summit experience 2017, and so am I. I would highly recommend you to follow @sqlpass and #PASSsummit in twitter for all the latest happenings, if you are not already.

This is my first time at the PASS Summit – and over the last few weeks I have been reading so many blog posts about things to do at PASS Summit, travel tips, must attend events, networking opportunities and much more. All these resources were immensely helpful and informative. I would like to thank all for sharing their experiences with the community.

  The PASS Summit is unique in so many ways. The one thing which I like the most is the immense opportunity it provides to the First-Timers and make them feel at Home —

The Buddy Program teams up a small group of First-Timers and an experienced PASS Summit attendee and help them answer questions and make them feel comfortable. My PASS Summit buddy is Andrew Nakamura – I am yet to meet him in person, but I really do plan to do so. He has been providing our group with lot of tips and tricks for attending PASS Summit and also helped answer lot of my queries.

First-Timer Orientation and Speed Networking Session seems like another fun networking event to break the ice, scheduled for later today.

There are a number of Conference Sessions conducted by the PASS Community Team to provide attendees with general overview of the PASS Summit so that they do not feel overwhelmed with all the information on offer during these 4 days.

Birds of a Feather Luncheon seems to be a nice program to share your experiences over lunch with a like minded group of people discussing on various topics like Application Development, Community, Big Data, Database Development, Data Warehousing and more.

Apart from all these events and the other great line of Keynotes and talks including the Microsoft Tiger Team, I am super excited to be speaking at the PASS Summit this year. If you are a SQL/ .NET Developer and want to learn about some excellent features in SQL Server 2016 to make your lives easier, then please do join me during my session. My session details are below–
