Last month, I asked a group of amazing women to submit sessions for the Spring 2011 24 Hours of PASS, focusing on Women In Technology (WIT). 24 HOP will take place on Tuesday, March 15 and Wednesday, March 16, 2011. The call for speakers came and went. I was stoked when I heard that 59 sessions were submitted. 59! That’s enough for two and a half days of training!
Only 24 could be chosen, though, and I’d like to congratulate all of the speakers that were chosen. You can find the full schedule here.
I’m thrilled to announce that my session, Reporting Services 201, was one of those chosen! I’ll be presenting on Wednesday, March 16, 12:00 GMT (8:00 AM EST in the US). Thanks to everyone that voted. I presented the session to the WI SSUG on Tuesday, and it went really well. I think everyone that attends will learn a few new SSRS tricks.
So, your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to register for the 24 Hours of PASS sessions you want to attend! (I hope it’s all of them!) Registration is FREE!
I hope you’re as excited about this opportunity for outstanding free training as I am!
