What Is the First-Timers Big Brother/Sister Program?
As part of the program, we connect you with a Big Brother/Sister from our seasoned Summit alumni who can:
- Introduce you around
- Give you the inside scoop on Summit
- Help answer any questions you might have
Your Big Brother/Sister will be in touch with you via email before the conference to share Summit preparation tips and make sure everything’s going smoothly, then will meet up with you and other first-timers before the Welcome Reception. You can learn more about the Big Brother/Sister program in this blog post by Thomas LaRock.
Even if you aren't able to participate in the Big Brother/Sister aspect of the program, make sure you join us for the PASS Summit First-Timers Orientation and Networking session before the Welcome Reception Tuesday, Oct. 11, from 5:30pm-6:30pm.
We’ve already started connecting new Summit attendees with their alumni volunteers, so email newcomer@sqlpass.org to get matched up with your Big Brother or Sister today!
