Speaking at PASS Summit 2013

I’m happy to announce that I have been selected to presentlogo_header
at the SQL PASS Summit in Charlotte, North Carolina this October.   I’ll be delivering a session entitled “Data Cleansing in SQL Server Integration Services”, in which I’ll cover various ways to detect and cleanse dirty data using tools built into (or accessible from) SQL Server Integration Services.

This will be my third year to present at the PASS Summit.  As always, I’m happy to be able to participate and humbled to be selected to speak.

On a side note, this is the first time in several years that the Summit has been scheduled to be held outside of Seattle, and the first time it will have been held in Charlotte. Although I have to admit that I’m going to miss Seattle, I’m happy that PASS was open to community feedback requesting that the Summit be occasionally held in locations outside of Seattle.

Now we just need to task someone with finding us a karaoke dive bar in Charlotte.

Webinar: Scripting and SSIS

Tomorrow at 10am (11am EDT), I’ll be joining together with my good friend and SSIS Design Patterns coauthor Andy Leonard for a free one hour webinar to discuss scripting in SQL Server Integration Services:

Join SQL Server MVP Tim Mitchell and Andy Leonard as they discuss and demonstrate scripting in SSIS! In this demo-packed session, two co-authors of the book SSIS Design Patterns share their experience using the Script Task and Script Component to accomplish difficult transformations and improve data integration.

You can register online here.  We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
