4th 7th March
ExCeL Centre in London, England

SQLBits have announced their dates for 2015.
I have been three times and it is an excellent opportunity to learn and meet fellow DBAs and developers.
This year it has expanded to FOUR days, two training days featuring industry experts and two technical session days. Saturday as normal is a free day.
If your company’s training budget is limited next year then SQLBits offers the best value for money. Tell your boss that you’re giving up a Saturday to go to the free day and he might be sympathetic to pay for one or more of the other days.

Lots of people have submitted talks for the technical sessions and this year I’ve put my hat in the ring as well.
I’ve submitted three sessions:
A real DBA don’t need a GUI -A Guided Tour of SSMS
Beware of the Dark Side - A Tour of Oracle for the SQL DBA
Taming the Beast - How a DBA can keep Kerberos under control

I’ve given the first two at SQL Saturday events and they were received well by the audience.
You can vote for the sessions you’d like to hear at http://sqlbits.com/information/PublicSessions.aspx

If you do vote, remember me !
