Looking forward to speaking at Data ANZ 2021 this weekend. Data ANZ "is the data community event for the whole of Australia and New Zealand (and the world)"!
I'll be presenting both my "How to Think Like a Certification Exam" and co-presenting "Ethics in Modern Data" along with Christine. Their schedule is published here.
Both slidedecks are available for download here on Github.
This talk covers basic roll-your-own maintenance strategies using data inside SQL Server including wait stats, query stats and the Query Store, fragmentation and index maint, index DMVs for new/existing indexes, and a ton more helpful DMVs introduced in SQL 2017 and 2019.
You can register for this talk here: groupby.org.
You can download my presentation here, and the toolbox of sample scripts referenced throughout can be found in here.

Geeked to be speaking 2x on Saturday May 14, my second time speaking at #DataWeekender and at the very first Data Saturday Southwest 2021.
My Certification Exams Inside Out is one of my favorite presentations to give. Its fun, its positive and career-oriented, it's useful for folks at any point in their career. Between my guided walkthrough based on actual experience and fun sample test questions, I hope help you understand both how a question gets written, and how best to go about answering.
Slides for my presentations are available for download on Github: #DataWeekender and Data Saturday Southwest 2021.
