I’ll let you in on a little secret. Public speaking is FUN! About a year ago I gave my first presentation at a SQL developers group. Since then I’ve given about a dozen presentations for SQL developer groups and SQL Saturday events. It turns out giving presentations on technical topics to your peers is a great way to stay on top of your game.
This year I decided to submit a session for the SQL Rally analytics track. SQL Rally is a new yearly event offered by the PASS (Professional Association for SQL Server) committee to give people a smaller alternative to the big yearly PASS summit. It’s two days of SQL training with an optional one day pre-con the day before the event begins.
