Top SQL Server Sessions to Attend at Microsoft TechEd 2014

This year's Microsoft TechEd conference is less than a week away, and the SQL Server Pro editorial team is busy making preparations to cover the event in Houston. Because of the breadth that this conference provides, it can be a tiresome effort in knowing where to invest your time.

To help, we've come up with a comprehensive guide to review before attending the big show, along with our recommendations for different sessions that sound like worthy of your time.

Navigating the Twittersphere

The official #msteched conference hash tag is your best bet for staying up-to-date on conference news and with the IT community at large. Alternatively, you can also refer to the @TechED_NA Twitter handle for official updates from Microsoft.

You'll also want to follow our internal SQL Server Pro and sister site contributors. Paul Thurrott (@thurrott) from the Supersite for Windows will be attending, along with Windows IT Pro editors, Rod Trent (@rodtrent) and Sean Deuby (@shorinsean). Last but not least, Michael Otey and myself (@blair_greenwood) will be attending on behalf of SQL Server Pro.

We've parsed through the schedule ourselves, and here's what we recommend attending at the conference:

There's a multitude of different database-related sessions to choose from, so be sure to check out the event schedule for yourself!
