Well it was for me anyway.  I attended some great sessions and a really interesting discussion on women in technology.  My presentation on spatial data went pretty well.  Even though it was advertised as “special data” or “spacial data” a few folks showed up.  Definitely wasn’t a packed house but got some good feedback.  The speaker dinner afterward was really great!  I ate up every minute of discussions with Jimmy May, Brad McGehee, Kevin Kline, Rob Bogue and John Magnabosco.  They were all very gracious and encouraging of this young newbie.  So I am trying to take their advice and up my game a bit.  Here I am blogging away and just submitted some sessions to Nashville SQL Saturday (http://www.sqlsaturday.com/51/eventhome.aspx).  Here are my slides for the presentation.
