A Message from Microsoft
Hello PASS members. With over 60,000 members worldwide and 200
chapters in over 50 countries, it’s hard to believe that PASS is only 11 years
old! Over the past decade, PASS has continually provided top-tier education for
SQL Server IT professionals and Microsoft is proud to support PASS and their
growth initiatives. Over the past few years, PASS has seen phenomenal growth due
to the hard work and passion of the all-volunteer Board of Directors, and we’re
excited for what the future holds.
PASS Summit is the SQL Server educational and networking event of
the year, bringing together over 3,000 SQL Server community members and
Microsoft employees. Microsoft is proud to partner closely with PASS to educate
our core audience of IT professionals, with over 50 technical breakout sessions,
8 chalk-talks and 15 product pavilion kiosks.

Networking Tips
As PASS Summit 2010 nears, it’s time to reach out to others with whom
you share professional interests and goals (bloggers, colleagues, vendors, PASS
officials, etc.) with emails and/or telephone calls. Tell these potential
contacts that you are attending the conference and if they are too, you would
like to meet them and discuss...Find out more from our networking
workshop coach, Don Gabor.
