By Tamera, on August 15th, 2013% The wrap up!
So it is always bittersweet to go home. I love getting to see friends and family but hate that I don’t have the time to see them all. So besides that let me give you my summary.
Great location. Our hotel was 6 miles away and it was truly a non-issue. Great venue, everything worked, was clean and all rooms were ready for presentations. Speed PASS!! If you aren’t doing this for your event you should. Free Internet, so important! LOVED the envelope with vendor goodies. So my new favorite order is thumb drive, plastic envelope, bags. Ample parking. Shirts were awesome. And I mostly appreciated that . . . → Read More: Post #SQLSat242
By Tamera, on July 26th, 2013% So this week PASS started accepting applications for seats on the Board of Directors.
Let me tell you what we have done so far as the nomination committee. I will leave out all the boring details of schedules, meetings, and reading by-laws and just stick to the real work. We were tasked with two important things that all had to be done prior to the announcement this week.
First is the application. We each made suggestions and requested a bit more information regarding the requirements within the document. The changes that were suggested were just more or less to make things a bit easier to understand. There are also a . . . → Read More: NomCom Part 1
By Tamera, on June 24th, 2013% I interrupt my scheduled blog post to bring you this important post. Yeah that’s right I had some stuff to talk about, you know the wrap up of #MsTechEd and well now I forget. But I have things!
So if you were not paying attention PASS Headquarters announced that June 12 submissions to be on the Nomination Committee would open and would end on June 19th (blog article). On June 18th a dear friend of mine poked me and asked if I had considered it. Well my answer was …..errrr most people complain about this process. So I started doing the research and asking other dear friends who had inside . . . → Read More: PASS-NOMCOM
By Tamera, on June 3rd, 2013% Well most trips we take end up with me being irritated at Kerry because he’s sitting around on his butt while I am running around like a fool trying to get things ready. We should not assume this time would be any different. I had all my items packed and ready on Saturday leaving me just the cooler and food to pack up on Sunday. Of course he’s discovered a computer issue at home and spends nearly an hour working on it, and it’s still isn’t fixed. (Hopefully I can find someone here to talk about Exchange with.) In that time I got the car completely loaded and ready to . . . → Read More: #MSTECHED Day 1- the drive
By Tamera, on October 19th, 2012% Another post for the first timers!!!
Wow can you believe we are 3 weeks out? I feel that I am just terribly behind; I mean I booked my flights just the other day.
Well I guess today I will start with some travel tips. There is light rail that runs from the airport to the downtown area. It is really cheap (like around $3). But there is walking involved. However we pack pretty heavy (2 laptops, 2 cameras, 4 cell phones and a pile of cables, cords and chargers) and after last year I am sure it will be even heavier as I didn’t bring enough pants. PANTS! I know, . . . → Read More: 3 weeks to Summit, more first timer info
By Tamera, on October 6th, 2012% That is my one word description of #SQLSAT160.
Our 8 hour drive to Kalamazoo was interrupted by Kerry getting a speeding ticket in Kentucky. Fun times! Then there was the intended stop in Indianapolis, Indiana to see my grandmother who is still in the hospital after open heart surgery. She’s ran into a sting of little issues that kept setting her back. I was happy that we stopped on our way up. Then we arrived in KZoo to find that some jerk set off the sprinklers and 1/2 the hotel was damaged and shut down. Since we were checking in early we got a room and an upgrade to a . . . → Read More: WOW! #SQLSAT160
By Tamera, on October 5th, 2012% Nashville didn’t have a SQLSAT last year, we lost the venue and that is about all I know on why there wasn’t one. But what I do know is that we are having one this year. October 13, 2012 (Does that date ring a bell? Like a wedding bell?) that is the date for Nashville’s SQLSAT. I am so excited as this lineup is looking to be AWESOME! There are several pre-cons on Friday that you might not want to miss. But the good news is that I am presenting here. I am a tick nervous that the organizers picked the session I have not tried yet and that agreed . . . → Read More: Bringing the road show home #SQLSAT145
