This year’s PASS Summit has gone virtual and is taking place November 10-13. PASS Summit is the largest gathering of data professionals focused on the Microsoft platform, and this year, it will be more accessible than ever, giving attendees the opportunity to learn from data professionals around the world right from their very own home.
Not only will the Azure SQL/ SQL Server teams be delivering 25+ sessions, but there will also be opportunities to connect directly with the product groups through:
- Microsoft Azure Data Clinic: Attendees will be able to access the virtual clinic booth to schedule 1:1 time with Microsoft engineers to get their questions answered.
- Focus Groups: The week following PASS Summit (November 16 -20), attendees will be able to meet with the product teams to provide feedback on topics related to the technical roadmap for Microsoft data platforms, trends/drivers facing your organizations or industry, and priorities to move your business forward. To sign up for one of our focus groups, click here.
As a bonus – the first 1,500 registrants for PASS Summit will receive Bob Ward, Principal Architect on the Azure Data team, new eBook, Azure SQL Revealed: A Guide to the Cloud for SQL Server Professionals.
More details about the events are being updated directly on the PASS Summit website but in the meantime, you can start planning which Azure Data sessions you would like to attend with my quick reference list below:
