That's why your Network Users Community of Anchorage is a perfect fit to the SQL Server Virtual Conference SSWUG.org is offering February 19, 20 and 21st. http://www.sswug.org/conference/special.asp?i=7 Conferences are an awesome learning opportunity where people can draw off the knowledge of experts in an industry, ask specific questions and see demonstrations that can't always be performed in other arenas. The problem with most conferences is that they're too expensive for an individual trying to further their career or education, with the average price of a conference exceeding $1500 for three days. What's more, hotels, flights, meals and transportation along with time away from school, work, home, family, etc., can make the conference extremely pricey in more ways than one. Sadly, many are not able to attend. Others that are able to attend sometimes find that two sessions they would like to attend are scheduled at the same time forcing them to choose which session they would rather learn from, wasting both the time and the finances of the attendee as they are not able to get the most out of the conference. http://www.sswug.org/conference/special.asp?i=7 The SQL Server Virtual Conference is the Answer SSWUG.org has put together a virtual conference that will address each one of the issues an individual would face during a conventional conference. The virtual conference offers four tracks that are designed to help individuals do everything, from installing SQL Server, to writing their first stored procedures, and even troubleshooting performance issues. There is also a track specifically designated for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 that will be led by Microsoft professionals. In the virtual conference, time conflicting sessions are avoided as each session is offered three times during the day, accommodating individual time zones, work schedules and individual availability. http://www.sswug.org/conference/special.asp?i=7 We ask for your organization's assistance in helping us to get the word out about the SSWUG virtual conference. If your organization chooses to sign up as a group, the SSWUG virtual conference offers group discounts to make the conference more affordable for individuals in your organization. Traveling is not required as the virtual conference can be viewed from any computer. Industry leading professionals will guide attendees through on-screen presentations and point by point instruction. This virtual conference is a great way for individuals to gain knowledge in a stress-free environment at a much lower cost than a conventional conference. We'll even be having a virtual exhibit hall with interactive demonstrations and Q&A with speakers and exhibitors. Fund raising opportunities are even available for qualified organizations, just let me know if you're interested. Every attendee will receive full transcripts to all sessions, on-demand access for one week after the conference, a subscription to CoDe Magazine and a whole lot more. http://www.sswug.org/conference/special.asp?i=7 We hope you can join us on February 19, 20 and 21 for the SSWUG.org Virtual Conference!

Sincerely, Gia Bartoli gia@sswug.org SSWUG.ORG PS - you can register today, or get more information at the conference site: http://www.sswug.org/conference/special.asp?i=7
