We are pleased to announce the schedule of our 2012 Roadshow. We are going to deliver it 15 times in 12 countries this year. It is our 5th annual roadshow focused on BI, and the 9th annual roadshow we have run at Project Botticelli. Each year we meet 4000–7000 attendees from countries around the world, all sharing an interest in the newest developments in Business Intelligence. This year, we are expanding the subject, covering the function of relationship management, especially CRM, in your analytics. You can get a feel for what is covered if you look at the PPT slide decks, which are available for download from here (log-in required).

If you cannot attend our roadshow, you now have an alternative, based on popular demand. We have just published an online, video-based, extended version of the roadshow content: click here to access SQL BI video training. The recordings are longer, and more in-depth than the sessions presented during the roadshow, and will make good reference material, if you attended it live, or a great starting point, if you are new to Microsoft BI.

We are grateful to Microsoft for sponsoring our roadshow, and for issuing the invitations, running the registration logistics, and securing comfortable venues. While we are happy to announce the schedule, below, you need to register for each event locally, through your in-country Microsoft web site. Contact us, please, if you need assistance in finding out more information about a particular delivery. The agenda for each event may vary a little, as we are customising the events to suit local requirements and experience. Individual agendas are provided on the localised registration sites.

All dates are subject to change, without notice.
