Tomorrow, Friday May 20th, is the last day to vote for any sessions you want to see at the PASS Summit this October. In my usual last-minute manner, I thought I’d provide a link to the sessions I submitted for readers to review. In addition, I’ve included a link for the session submitted by Adam Machanic for which I would be a co-presenter. If any of these sessions are of interest to you, then please vote for them!
I included my abstracts in a previous post, along with a few comments which I’m re-posting below. Good luck to everyone who submitted, and I hope to see you in Seattle!

Baseline Basics: Where to Start, What You Need
I’ve presented this session three times and I really feel like I’m in a good place with it. Brent Ozar provided some good feedback after SQLSaturday in Chicago, and I have picked up a couple more stories to weave throughout.
Who’s Responsible? The Vendor or the DBA?
Mike Walsh and I presented this session at SQLSaturday in Cleveland, and I have had some interesting customer interactions since that time. I am always learning, and this session is always evolving.
You’re My Density: Making Sense of Statistics
This is my newest session which I will give at our user group meeting next month and then hopefully tweak over the summer. I’m excited about this session because I love statistics and plan to head off into the weeds in some spots. Good stuff.
Is Your SQL Server Getting a Workout? Find Out With Who Is Active
At the PASS Summit last year, I had the opportunity to listen to Adam talk to Jimmy May about his Who Is Active stored procedure, which was a treat for me because I had been using it for customer issues. I joked about doing a presentation together, but Adam took me seriously! I think this session would be a lot of fun to do, and would provide a lot of value to attendees – both those who are using the procedure, and those who have never seen it.
