Drinking whiskey at the hotel bar and getting my mind ready for the onslaught of knowledge at #PASSDataSummit

PASS Summit was a breath of fresh air! Started in Redmond with MVPs and realized I’ve got a lot to learn about Fabric—time to tackle those DP-600/700 certs. Thanks to Daniel Hutmacher for breakfast chats and reminding me, “Screw up what? You mean having a life?”

Loved catching up with Blythe Morrow, Jen & Sean McCown, and Kellyn Pot'Vin-Gorman. My session had 54 attendees with great questions—rushed near the end, so there is room to improve! #PASSDataSummit

Had a great week and a bit in PNW. Some bike riding, a tattoo, a precon and a session with my buddy @jpomfret.bsky.social on dbatools at #PassDataSummit and meeting so many wonderful people.
All good things come to an end though and I'm so so ready to get home and see my wife & our cat.
Be Awesome

Had so much fun with this group of folks at #PASSDataSummit in my Make Your #PowerBI Reports Pop session. It was the last session of the day on the last day, but they showed up and had great questions, they are awesome humans 😁
