Every year, I present at eight or ten events plus user group meetings, either in person or remotely. Due to travel costs (yes, speakers pay their own way to events) and time, I’ve stayed in the US except for one event in Montreal almost ten years ago.  I love adding new states to my list of states where I have presented, but I decided that I should start adding new countries as well.

Again, that money and time thing has kept me close to home, but now my goal will be achieved next week! When I set goals, they are usually met, but not always in the ways I expect. Next week, I will be part of Redgate’s SQL in the City Streamed. This event will be broadcast live from Redgate’s headquarters in Cambridge, UK.

My session is “What SQL Server performance metrics should you monitor?” I’ll talk about my favorite things to watch out for as well as how to troubleshoot some common problems. I’ll be joined by MVPs Steve Jones and Grant Fritchey, so please tune in!
