SQL Saturday in Verona!

This year I will speak at PASS SQL Saturday in Verona with a session based on database and source control management.

“PASS SQLSaturday’s are free 1-day training events for SQL Server professionals that focus on local speakers, 
providing a variety of high-quality technical sessions, and making it all happen through the efforts of volunteers. 
Whether you’re attending a SQLSaturday or thinking about hosting your own, we think you’ll find it’s a 
great way to spend a Saturday – or any day. “

This is the speaker list and these are the event details.
Stay Tuned!
