Likely in Feb time frame.Not sure what we'll do for a party next year either.Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:02:46 GMTSteve Jones - SSC Editorhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic920101-824-1.aspxBudget meetings are happening this week and I'm hoping to get the summit approved for next year. Last year there was a discount for using the SSC2010 code, do you know if there will be a similar arrangement for 2011?Thanks,ChadFri, 19 Nov 2010 08:45:31 GMT Chad Crawfordhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic920101-824-1.aspxThanks for the clarification.

I used the mentioned referral code when I registered in February. I might be missing the obvious. Is my name on a list at the door or is there something I need to do to acquire my actual ticket?Thanks,DanTue, 26 Oct 2010 13:59:45 GMTscholeshttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic920101-824-1.aspx[quote][b]Steve Jones - SSC Editor (10/26/2010)[/b][hr]I have a bunch of DVDs and ThinkGeek stuff so far.

Have a bowl for each of the three top prizes and allow people to put in raffle tickets into their choice of bowls.This way the best gamblers (who seem to always do well) will have a better 'chance' to win, but not guaranteed.Thu, 21 Oct 2010 09:47:32 GMTal.kohttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic920101-824-1.aspxFrom what I saw in Twitter, there were some ladies who were inquiring about this party.
