I missed the 2010 MVP Summit, which is disappointing. There were a lot of SQL 11 talks and I was looking forward to those. I was also hoping to get together with a lot of MVP friends that I rarely see.
However this weekend in Charlotte, for SQL Saturday #33, it appears that it’s like a mini-summit, and thanks to Peter Shire and SQL Sentry for assembling an amazing lineup. I am sure I am forgetting someone, but look at this lineup:
- Andy Warren
- Andy Leonard
- Jessica Moss
- Kevin Kline
- Rushabh Mehta
- Wayne Snyder
- Allen White (the roommate I missed at the Summit)
- Andrew Kelley
- Aaron Bertrand
- Tim Ford
- Denny Cherry
- Geoff Hiten
- Ashton Hobbs
- Alejandro Mesa
- Mike Walsh
- Patrick LeBlanc
- Kendal van Dyke
- and more
Not all MVPs, but a few probably deserve it.
I think I’m the weakest link of this bunch. This was one of the best lineups I’ve seen at an event, and incredible for a free event. SQL Pros in Charlotte, you should consider yourselves lucky to have the chance to attend this amazing day of training for free.
