Several weeks ago, while on a flight traveling home from San Francisco, I received an exciting email. I had submitted to speak at SQL Bits and during my flight I was notified that one of my submitted sessions had been selected. This means that I’ll be traveling to Manchester, England for my first international conference. I am extremely honored to have been selected to speak at this prestigious conference. It has been a goal of mine to one day be able to present outside North America and that achievement is finally realized.
