SQL Business Intelligence Professional

Less than 24 hours from my first session at the SQL Saturday event on the campus of Louisiana State University tomorrow.  Below is my schedule for the event.

7:30am to 8:30am  SQL Server Analysis Services Cube Creation

If you have been curious about Microsoft’s OLAP engine, and how to get started using it, this is the session for you.  In addition to covering the basics of getting, building and navigating the sample OLAP databases, this session will take attendees through a complete build of an SSAS database in our 60-minute, eye-opening session.

11:30am to 12:30 am Ask the Experts Panel, SSAS/MDX/Data Warehousing

I will be working an Ask The Experts session with Bryan Smith.  Here is your chance to play stump the chumps with your questions on all things Microsoft OLAP and Data Warehousing.

2:45pm to 3:45pm College Football and Microsoft Business Intelligence

In my own personal Power Hour session, I will share my passion and fanaticism for college football and data analysis.  The plan is for a light-hearted overview of some fascinating uses of the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform.
