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.

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.

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.)

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/

I'm using #NaNoWriMo to write content every day in November: articles, documentation, and code all count! So far today: 617 words.

It'd be nice to do 1,000 more.
