2012 is already upon us and I have been busy working on my travel schedule for this year. It is still incomplete, but I have many events scheduled, and I am leaving room for some additional events as they are announced.
So how about you, have your scheduled the training events you want to attend this year? In a recent poll of readers of my blog, it looks like the most popular SQL Server training events are SQL Saturdays (18 events already scheduled for this year), SQL PASS Summit (Seattle, November 6-9, 2012), SQL Rally (Dallas, May 10-11, 2012), SQL Bits (UK, March 29-31, 2012), and SQL in the City (Dates and locations not yet announced).
While many of you may not have a training budget, fortunately, many of the events are free, and assuming they are within easy driving distance, attending them should be a no-brainer decision for you to make.
So if you have not done so yet, begin planning out your training this year. With the launch of SQL Server 2012, it should be a very busy year.

SQL Rally, SQL PASS Summit, various SQL Saturday’s, User Group meetings and if I’m lucky, I’ll get invited back to SQL In the City
While I hope my employer will help cover some costs, when it comes to investing in my future I’m fully prepared to pay for all of these events out of pocket.
