Upcoming conferences end of 2014: Microsoft Technical Server Summit, MVP Summit, PASS Summit, Microsoft Technical Summit

The end of year is approaching fast. For the next three months, several conferences are scheduled. After the introduction of SQL Server 2014 at the BASTA in September in Mainz/Germany, I am continuing in October with a presentation on New Storage-Types in SQL Server 2014 at the Microsoft Technical Server Summit Düsseldorf/Germany:

Article “SQL Server 2014 – New Fundament” in iX Issue 5/2014
