Recap of SQL Saturday #89 in Atlanta
Thanks to everyone who attended my session "Dashboards...How to Choose Which MSBI Tool" at SQL Saturday #89 in Atlanta this weekend. The materials are posted on my Presentations page. The audience was fun & talkative. I only had one...err, uhh...minor incident while hurling candy. The facility at Georgia State University was terrific, as you can tell from this pic from my session:
SQL Saturdays are always so much fun - filled with learning & seeing people or meeting new people. Seeing The Datachix is always a highlight...here's a pic from the after-party:

In addition to catching up with a few folks, I enjoyed meeting a few people like Teo Lachev, Aaron Nelson, Mike Walsh, Jim Christopher, Nick Cain, Grant Fritchey, and Jen Underwood. My favorite session was probably Adam Jorgenson's - he is one funny guy.
The organizers gave gals shirts that say "data model." Dudes got shirts that say "I work with models." Cute, huh? From what I could tell, the organizers did a mightily terrific job.
It was a great day. I sure love our SQL Community.
