We will have some fun giveaways for the pre-Con attendees. We have an HP Windows 8.1 Tablet, Xbox One Games and T-Shirts.
For the first time, we are bringing you an ITPalooza pre-con on Wednesday, December 3rd, from 9am – 4pm.
Local SQL Server gurus, David Pless, MCM & Microsoft PFE, along with Pankaj Satyaketu, Microsoft TSP, will deliver a full-day workshop on the key concepts to get a jump start on leveraging built-in technologies, and extending the ability to monitor Windows and SQL Server in the enterprise, in their workshop titled:
SQL Server Enterprise Monitoring: DBA PowerUp!
This is a great opportunity to get in-depth SQL Server training at a fraction of the price you’d normally pay at other full-day training events. This workshop is not included in your ITPalooza registration, and requires you to pay a fee of $99 to attend. With your registration comes this full-day training, including all demo scripts, breakfast, lunch, and snack.
The early bird rate of $99 ends on November 15th. Price goes up to $120 thereafter, so reserve your seat early!

With ITPalooza just 8 days away, I want to take a moment to thank the team that’s putting this year’s event together. This year we changed the name from Organizing Committee to Team 2014 which really reflects the enterprise as a whole – it’s a team.
I would like to note that technology has made it possible for a small team of people to deliver an enormous amount of productivity in short space of time, something which even a few years ago would not have been possible.
The ITPalooza website continues to evolve year-on-year with improved user experience and behind the scenes management tools – If you haven’t visited the site in while, I invite you to click around and view the list of speaking talent that will present this years sessions.
If you would like to learn more about the ITPalooza team, please visit the team page.
