Get Everything BI at PASS Summit 2009

As you may know, Microsoft has decided to make the BI Conference into a biennial event, with the next conference in 2010. For 2009, we are excited to team with the Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) to expand the BI tracks at PASS Summit 2009 and help deliver the content that BI architects, developers, and administrators need to get the most value from their Microsoft SQL Server and BI-based solutions.

The Microsoft BI team will be at PASS Summit 2009 in full force, sharing best practices and the latest information about BI technologies. We're excited about our many sessions, including the always-popular BI Power Hour; a demo-intensive introduction to Reporting Services 2008 R2 and major new innovations to Report Builder 3.0; what's new in Microsoft Office Excel for BI and Project Gemini for enterprise self-service analysis; and much more. The full agenda includes 2 tracks dedicated to BI, including 90-minute, in-depth Spotlight sessions and a full roster of Program sessions.

PASS Summit 2009 will be held November 2-5 in Seattle, WA, with additional full-day Pre/Post-Conference seminars on November 1 and November 6. BI-specific full-day seminars include Building a Microsoft Data Warehousing Platform, Delivering Business Intelligence to the Masses and Data Warehouse Dimensional Design and Architecture Planning.
