Preparing a Technical Presentation
by Dana Braatz
Sooner or later in our careers, we all must do technical presentations, we often dread doing them; I will present a few ideas for doing them better. Find out why 18 (not 397) is a magic number. Learn how to keep the audience focused on you (not their cell phones). In addition, get the answer to the age-old PowerPoint question: “To bullet point; or not to bullet point?”
Dana is a database developer at Beacon Health Options’ Colorado Engagement Center. Dana began his database journey in the mid 90’s developing healthcare solutions in Microsoft Access. It’s been a great education working with Sybase, SQL Server, COBOL, Oracle, and now AWS. He looks forward to learning about the next big things with his PASS colleagues.Dana has a Master’s degree from the University of Colorado.

There are many aspects to consider, from technology choices and licensing, to policies and procedures. This session outlines and compares the various HA/DR technologies available in SQL Server 2017, showing how you can combine them to design and build a solution to help meet your HA/DR goals.
