I can't believe I haven't mentioned this before now, but in addition to the learning, networking, partying, sightseeing, giveawaying, teaching, and blogging we'll be doing at the PASS Summit next week, Sean and I will also be recording new DBAs @ Midnight videos with some big names!
Now I know the feedback on our DBAs@Midnight format has been a bit hot and cold, but (a) we're still playing with format, and (b) this is gonna be awesome. We've got these big names & kind hearts booked to film with us, talking about some great topics.
