The PASS Summit Schedule Builder is live, and I’ve spent the morning looking over all of the great sessions they have lined up. I always find putting together a schedule challenging – it’s hard to balance my time between the sessions that I want to attend, the sessions I should attend for career growth, and spending time in the Dev Pods / Ask the Experts and the SSIS booth in the Microsoft Pavilion. I usually end up triple booked for the entire week.
SSIS Sessions
I’ll be presenting two sessions – A Day of SSIS in the Enterprise is a pre-con session on Monday, and a breakout session on Thursday - Top 10 Things You Didn’t Know About SSIS in SQL Server Code Name "Denali" , where we’ll be announcing some brand new features for Denali (as well as covering some existing CTP3 features that haven’t gotten much attention thus far).
Here is a full list of the SSIS sessions at the summit (note that the schedule may change – refer to the official PASS listings for times and rooms):

SSIS Exhibitors
In addition to the sessions, I always look forward to speaking with the vendors that develop SSIS components and enhanced functionality.
- CozyRoc will be attending the event and showing off their ever growing list of SSIS extensions.
- Pragmatic Works will apparently be announcing new products and functionality for their suite of products .
- Varigence announced that they’ll be running a contest at PASS that looks interesting…
Be sure to stop by their booths and say hello!
