Only an  few weeks until PASS and I'm very excited about meeting everyone again. I missed last year due to the birth of my new baby girl so I missed my fix.

I'll be doing 4 sessions at PASS this year. My first will be an all day pre-conference SSIS boot camp. In this day-long session, you will spend the first hour catching up on what you may have been missing with SSIS in SQL Server 2005 and 2008. Then, the seminar rapidly progresses into much more advanced topics like how to load a data warehouse and advanced ways to log errors and handle events. I also cover best practices for the enterprise in package configuration, deployment and administration. The content moves quickly through the SSIS concepts and depicts common scenarios that new and experienced SSIS developers run into. You should walk away confident in how to achieve success with SSIS.

I hope you can make it and I'm essentially condensing my four days of class material down to a day seminar so it should be pretty fast. I'll also be handing out files so you can follow along with all the examples on your laptop (if you have enough power to sustain it for the day that is :)). It should be a very interactive, real-world session where we will go over all the common enterprise situations I see in the field. You'll also walk out with a number of packages that will help you monitor and perform common scenarios easily.
