PASS Summit Birds of a Feather Lunch

,

Mike Walsh, who is a PASS volunteer, has done a nice job organizing the PASS Summit Birds of a Feather Lunch, on Tuesday, November 3 at the PASS Summit in Seattle. You might be wondering what this is. In Mike’s words:

The Birds of a Feather event is a topic-based luncheon where a number of tables will be marked and discussion facilitated by a "technical leader". Both MVPs and members of the SQL CAT team will be facilitating tables.

The tables will be marked by name and subject, and there will be nine available seats at each table, that are first-come, first-served. Its is a good way to meet more people and hopefully learn something at lunch. There is quite a selection of subjects and SQL MVPs hosting tables, shown below:
