If you are coming in person, my little 10x10 starter booth in the Exhibitor Hall will have a couch and 2 chairs. And cookies Thursday afternoon :)

Hey #sqlfamily! Today I present 14 lessons from 14 years of PASS Summits (that I’ve attended):
1. It’s a bummer if you can’t go. But, there are SQL Saturdays throughout the year, and SQL community online every day.
2. If you can go? Sanitize. (I really recommend that everyone wear masks this year, too.)

This week - PASS Data Community Summit https://www.flxsql.com/2022/11/12/summit-2022/
@alevyinroc You forgot to include your Counter.Social link in the blog! :D
On the other hand you’re inspiring me to write a post…

Follower counts are absolutely meaningless here. So is the number of "likes" you get on your posts.
This can be a hard change to get used to. On Twitter, you're constantly fishing for clout to overcome an algorithm that's working overtime to suppress you. We have no algorithms here, so you're free to be yourself. #CoSoTips

Any recommendations on how to learn Azure Data Bricks?
@Kevin3NF Not in this case!

@MinionWare I will indeed be bringing my #SQLKilt :)
@Kevin3NF I need to get a new one! My, uh, old one must've shrunk.
Any questions? Any additions?
🤔
12. Respect your fellow attendees’ boundaries. (“Hug? Handshake? Wave?”) And respect your fellow attendees’ pronouns! (“They/them? Got it, thanks.”)
13. Attend the Women in Tech luncheon! There's no gender requirement, y'all.

14. Go to the social events! Like, for example, our Monday night donut meetup: eventbrite.com/e/439309625917
Community events page: passdatacommunitysummit.com/community/
9. Watch the keynotes. If it calls to you, watch SQL Twitter while that’s happening, too.
10. Kilt Day is (was?) a really real thing. We’re not pranking you about that.
11. When the speaker asks for a question, they do not want a 16 part question. Nor do they want a question-that’s-actually a comment. Speakers have a hard enough job…don’t make it harder.
6. Sessions are great. Talking to people in the halls is even better. Chose the latter, when a choice has to be made.
7. Except if it’s a Bob Ward session. Choose the Bob Ward session.
8. Find out from others WHICH of your sessions you have to show up to an hour early, and do so. (Note: See tip #7.)
3. Never miss an opportunity to charge your phone and/or laptop.
4. Bring business cards.
5. Connect with people before the Summit. Discord, Twitter, Slack, LinkedIn, Counter.Social, etc.

@Kevin3NF And the prequel, "The Split Brain Syndrome"
@SQL_Zero Example? Now I'm curious. I use both IN and NOT IN.
We offer a free #SQL #automation Pilot Program to just 3 teams per quarter.
The Program serves the dual purpose of giving a data team a thorough trial, with full support and customizations as needed, and providing us with truly valuable feedback!
Sound interesting? Take a quick survey to see if your #SQLServer shop is a good fit for the 60-day MinionWare Pilot Program: https://www.minionware.net/pilot-program-2022/
