TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- November 5, 6 and 7, 2008, SSWUG.ORG is presenting a comprehensive learning event for SQL Server, Business Intelligence, SharePoint and .NET Development technologies. The online event (http://www.vconferenceonline.com) will present sessions in 12 simultaneous tracks from 40 industry-recognized presenters. The conference, presented entirely online with broadcast-quality sessions, includes full video, downloadable session materials, transcripts and more. In addition, attendees are not required to travel, instead being able to attend the conference from their office or home.

"We're excited to present this fall conference suite -- at the June conference, the attendees saved more than $2,500,000 in travel and conference expenses alone, by their own estimations," says Stephen Wynkoop, Editor and Founder for SSWUG.ORG. "This, along with the amazing array of presenters, the decreased time away from the office and the complete learning environment provided by the vConferenceOnline tools, means our attendees and exhibitors get an excellent, meaningful online event never before possible."

SSWUG.ORG is combining four different conference disciplines in the comprehensive conference schedule. Attendees can pick from Business Intelligence, SQL Server, SharePoint and .NET Developer technologies, all running concurrently.

Chris Shaw, Director of Virtual Conferences, says, "We're really looking to create an amazing community event. Attendees will experience a wide array of technologies and also be able to come back, review sessions and pick up those finer points that may have been missed. Because you can review sessions on-demand after the original schedule means you won't miss a single tip, and you can attend sessions from other disciplines as well," said Shaw. "Our speakers are well-known book authors, Microsoft MVPs and recognized industry experts. Never before has such an incredible gathering of speakers been presented in an event like this, assuring that the information to be gained is top-notch.

"The focus is on learning, networking, tips, and techniques that you can put to use right away. Combine this learning with the eco-friendly online approach, the complete elimination of travel expenses for attendees, the interaction and learning tools provided, the expert speakers -- you have a way to increase your knowledge without breaking the bank or expending significant out-of-office time," Shaw said.

Exhibitors and partners include Title Sponsor Idera Software and online labs for attendees are provided by Maximum ASP. Other exhibitors and partners include Quest Software, B-Eye Network, SQL Sentry, AvePoint, and SQL on Call.
