PASS is run by the community, but of course as a Diamond Sponsor, Microsoft plays a huge role in providing content and staffing for the event, including the keynotes as well as various sessions and events throughout the summit.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s an exciting event for us at Microsoft and one that many of us look forward to.&nbsp; This year several of the Premier Developer consultants who specialize in SQL Server will be attending and participating in the Summit in various capacities.&nbsp; boB Taylor will be leading some interactive sessions at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlpass.org\/summit\/2014\/Sessions\/MoreLearning.aspx\">Certification Central<\/a>.&nbsp; Pam Lahoud will be delivering a session titled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlpass.org\/summit\/2014\/Sessions\/Details.aspx?sid=6424\">Built for Speed: Database Application Design for Performance<\/a> at 4:15PM on Friday, November 7th.&nbsp; Also come find us at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlpass.org\/summit\/2014\/Sessions\/MoreLearning.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">SQL Server Clinic<\/a> in room 4C throughout the conference.&nbsp; boB, Pam, and Chad Mattox will be there for a few shifts to help you with your SQL Server issues and design questions.&nbsp;
