The Washington State Convention & Trade Center will be full of the most brilliant minds in the SQL server world, so you can tackle nagging issues, gain valuable skills & insight and return to work more productive and more valuable than ever before. It’s a concept we call IOR – Invest on Returnment.

You’ll reclaim many lost hours of sleep and thousands of valuable brain cells. You’ll avoid countless cups of coffee. You might even get to see the Sun once in a while.
