Quick notes:

• Same location as previous years, good!
• Parking was same place, but it was confused by a pay-to-park event on the same day. The attendants knew to let SQLSaturday attendees in at new charge, but I’m betting a few paid without asking or turned away
• Some of the rooms were in an adjacent building. Not far, but not obvious either. Signs could have been a little better on that part.
• 10th anniversary! Kudos to Pam Shaw for being the lead player across all these years!
• Team coming together nicely around Pam and Jason, its good to see.
• Pam gave out pins for 5 year and 10 year attendees. Not something I had thought of doing, is interesting. Lots of 5 year attendees, only 3 (I am one of the three) had been to all 10 events.
• Speaker dinner location was decent, a local restaurant, good room to move around to talk to people
• Jason mentioned he found good deals locally on both sign printing and shirts, a good reminder to look local
• I did one presentation on Devops, went well, but it remains for me a difficult topic to convey in a useful way
