Community Voting open for SQLRally Pre-cons

As some of you probably know - I do speak a lot of SQL conference's, but getting session submissions picked can be tough @ times (especially for the larger events)

Sometimes there are community voting rounds .. for a few precious slots @ these larger events

I now have one of those voting rounds for my Pre-Con submission @ the next SQLRally event May 8^th -  May 11^th  in Dallas, TX  (this is one of the largest SQL Conferences)

My Pre-Con submission "Performance Trace & Event Collection in SQL Server" was selected for the voting round (that in itself is a big deal)

So please can I kindly ask if you can you spare just a minute of your time  & vote for my session

(it will be tough competition to secure one of the spots)

Just Login (free to register if not already a member) and selected the session(s) you want to vote for - The voting ends 9^th Feb 5PM (CST)
