ex·haus·tion
[ig·zaws·chun]
–noun
- extreme tiredness; fatigue
- the condition of being used up; consumption: exhaustion of the earth’s resources
- the act of exhausting or the state of being exhausted
Exhaustion is the first thing that comes to mind. Wow is a close second! To put it into perspective: imagine you have been tasked with instructing Amy Winehouse about sobriety… Yeah it’s gonna require a lot of time and energy! This was my first event so without any shadow of a doubt I was on pins and needles up until the end of the after party. Like anyone else you want your event to be successful from start to finish. Essentially you want things to go according to plan, in short… perfect. We all know Murphy’s law so there is no denying that things will not always go according to plan, so don’t let it bother you.
However I do feel that being experienced does help you roll with the punches much like an agile process. You are able to adjust as things come your way. That is exactly what Chris Coneybeer (blog | @coneybeer) brought to the table… experience among several other things! So I commend Chris on doing an exceptional job on adjusting to everything that presented itself.
volunteers
I want to say thank you for helping SQLSaturday #47 come together. It’s not easy and our time is valuable so thank you for taking time out of your schedule to help with the preparations of the community event. There is nothing like supporting our community.
So thank you: (in no particular order)
presenters
Because of your willingness to share the wealth of knowledge SQLSaturday #47 was able to offer five tracks of information packed sessions. The fact that our presenters actually participated in the event on their own dime speaks volumes about the their commitment to the community. That’s right! The flight, hotel, car rental and other incurred expenses were out of their own pocket. So thank you for your generosity and thank you for being you!
So thank you: (in no particular order)
sponsors
