Did you know?
At our April conference, nearly 30% of attendees indicated they'd made entirely new business contacts at the vConference.
What's New?
Best of the Best Content
As selected by the community based on session surveys, extensive feedback and ratings of sessions, the session tracks will feature the best of the sessions
from the Fall vConference AND the Spring vConference, together as one comprehensive learning event. The sessions will span the four disciplines of SQL Server,
Business Intelligence, .NET Development and SharePoint.
New Live Sessions and Q&A Sessions
All new live sessions with Chris Shaw and Stephen Wynkoop will be included as well, covering the real-world use of cross-application technologies. Looking
to understand Excel and SQL Server integration? Want to see data imports completed and displayed in an Office application? These topics and others will be
covered. In addition, the live Q&A sessions will be included daily with Twitter- and Chat-based interaction presented live during the conference. These are
opportunities to talk about direction, best practices, ideas and get general help and feedback, all live.
Basics of SQL Server Track
All attendees will receive access to the basics of SQL Server track. This includes TSQL 101, 102, 103, best practics, backups and
information about the fundamentals of working with SQL Server, no matter how you work with it - be it as a developer, informational user,
or administrative capacity. No other conference, online or offline, will bring you this information.
Excellent Presentation Quality
Our April conference was the first to provide HD-quality video, but even at the Fall conference the quality is unmatched for online presentations. You'll be
able to see the presenter, see them demonstrate and talk about their passions. You'll have access to transcripts, slides and in many cases, scripts and
even sample code. It's a great way to learn.
What Else?
More Than 10 Expert, Recognized Presenters per discipline!
More than ten speakers have come together to deliver more than 39 full length sessions. The speakers
include well known presenters, SQL Server experts, authors, columnists and MVP’s.
Attend Multiple Tracks
With our unique block schedule, you can attend more than one track, repeat a session or catch up on an
interrupted session. You won't miss out on the content and the block schedule allows for time zone issues,
loud office-mates, nosey bosses and more. We make sure you get the sessions you need most.
On-Demand Access for Thirty Days
When the three day conference is over, attendees will be able to return to the conference site and review
sessions, up to four times per session, for a period of 30 days. Miss a point? Want to review a point? No problem.
Just return to the site and you can view that session again. You will be able to see the many sessions we have
