After a few months of inactivity, I'm back to blogging - this time with a purpose. By now, there have been a lot of blog posts about the upcoming PASS Community Summit 2010 in Seattle, WA on the 9th-11th November 2010. This, in particular, has been announced earlier this month but I need to confirm my attendance even before I can blog about it. So, now that my plane tickets and hotel reservations are set, I guess I can say that I am indeed going to PASS this year. And while I am not doing a regular session this time around, I will be at the MVP Birds of a Feather Lunch on the 10th. Keeping up with my commitment to do professional development sessions at PASS (although I will be at the Ask-the-Experts booth on High Availability and Disaster Recovery as well), my topic for the lunch session will be about why you need to distinguish yourself from the rest.
If you're attending the PASS Summit this year, drop by my area and I'll have something for you. For the next couple of days, I will be posting some secret messages on Twitter that give instructions on what you need to bring with you when you drop by. And I'm definitely sure that you'll enjoy having lunch with me because it's all about YOU.
Below is the list of topics for the Birds of a Feather Lunch for the PASS Summit 2010. I got it off Mike Walsh's post on SQLServerPedia so be sure to check out that site as well if there are any changes, although, I'm pretty sure there won't be any at this time.
