The SSWUG.ORG SQL Server vConference provides a unique experience to make sure you get the information you
need from some of the industry's leading experts. Here's a look at what you can expect from this SQL Server vConference:
...And There is More!
Basics of SQL Server Track
All attendees will receive access to the basics of SQL Server on-demand track. This includes TSQL 101, 102, 103, best practices, backups and
information about the fundamentals of working with SQL Server, no matter how you work with it - be it as a developer, informational user,
or administrative capacity.
No other conference, online or offline, will bring you this information.
All New Sessions
You get all-new sessions, key topics and up-to-date materials from the Microsoft, Microsoft MVPs and Regional Directors, Book Authors and Industry Experts.
All High-Def Format
All high-def, all the time. The result? A crystal clear picture, wide-format video,
and more. We take full advantage of the same proven bandwidth usage as previous conferences,
while providing video at 1280x720 to give you a clear view of everything from presenters to software
demos.
What Else?
More Than 15 Expert, Recognized Presenters
Your presenters have come together to deliver more than 75 full length sessions. The speakers
include well known presenters, SQL Server, Business Intelligence, SharePoint and .NET experts, authors, columnists and MVP’s.
Attend Multiple Tracks
With our unique block schedule, you can attend more than one track, repeat a session or catch up on an
interrupted session. You won't miss out on the content and the block schedule allows for time zone issues,
loud office-mates, nosey bosses and more. We make sure you get the sessions you need most.
On-Demand Access for Fourty-five Days
It's like time-travel! Miss a session, have a schedule conflict? Go back in time and watch that session (or all of them!) to make sure
you get the most out of the conference.
When the three day conference event is over, attendees will be able to return to the conference site and review
sessions, up to four times per session, for a period of 45 days. Miss a point? Want to review a point? No problem.
Just return to the site and you can view that session again. You will be able to see the many sessions we have
available if you happen to miss one or are unavailable for sessions during the actual event.
HUGE Discount on Your SSWUG.ORG Membership
Discount, as in FREE. 6-Month membership to SSWUG (or membership extension) is INCLUDED in the conference registration. Membership will be automatically activated on your account when you register for the
conference and run 6 months from that date.
Session Transcripts, Presentation Files, Scripts
You'll have access to download all available full session transcripts, presentation files and applicable samples, scripts, etc.*
Interactive Q&A
You'll be able to ask questions, get answers, chat with other attendees, all from your computer. You can ask
questions during presentations, afterward or even just participate in the general chat rooms that we'll be
providing for your use. You'll be able to interact with exhibitors and get real-time demonstrations of their software,
ask questions and find out answers for the things you need to know. You can even use video SKYPE to call in to the conference to
ask questions during the live Q&A days-end sessions.
Open Exhibit Hall
If you want to get the low down on the newest products that are available for SQL Server, Business Intelligence, Sharepoint, and .NET Developer, our Exhibit Hall
will be open during all the open hours of the conference. This will give you the chance to spend your time
looking around, interacting with the vendors, reading papers and a chance to enter contests that the vendors may
have going. You can also request a special appointment with a vendor for a one-on-one demonstration and Q&A session
so you can interactively see their products and learn about the solutions offered, all from your computer.
Be Entered In Drawings!
You'll be eligible for exhibitor drawings held during the event, both at a specific exhibitor level and an overall conference level.
...and other surprises. We can't wait to work with you!
* Session downloads include powerpoint presentations, scripts, sample files and other materials where provided by the speaker and
made available for download. Not all sessions will feature all materials. We make as many items available as possible. In some cases, transcripts are not
available due to factors beyond our control at production and conference time.
