The PASS Community Summit 2009 is a don't-miss event for Microsoft SQL Server professionals. Whether you are a database administrator or a business intelligence professional, I believe you will benefit from the most up-to-date and comprehensive SQL Server knowledge available.

In addition to SQL Server MVPs and numerous SQL Server gurus, there will be many people of the SQL Server product group in attendance.  I would encourage you to stop by at the product booth and the Ask The Experts areas.  This is a great opportunity to provide your feedback and discuss your questions face-to-face with members of the product development team, including myself and several of my colleagues from the Reporting Services team.

I will also present during two sessions at PASS this week:

• On Wednesday I will represent the Reporting Services team with demos during the traditional “BI Power Hour” session.
   
• On Thursday I will present during Paul Turley’s sessions on “Super Reports: Patterns & Recipes”.  My contents will focus on several of the new SQL Server 2008 R2 features available in the upcoming November CTP and show how they will solve several of your important reporting scenario requirements.

Hope to see you at PASS!
