Adam does so many talks in so many locations it's sometimes hard to keep track of. Anyway, there's been some confusion around what Adam is taking about and when - contrary to Darryl's post a week ago things may have changed. According to Adey Adam will be talking about Reporting Services.

The Blurb:

OK so you know about how powerful this reporting platform from Microsoft is. Come see Sydney based SQL Guru and MS Regional Director Adam Cogan show the right and wrong ways to develop reports and show data to users. Adam Cogan is the Chief Architect at SSW, a Microsoft Certified Partner specializing in Office and .NET Solutions. At SSW, Adam has been developing custom solutions for businesses across a range of industries such as Government, banking, insurance and manufacturing since 1990 for clients such as Microsoft, Quicken, and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation. Adam was one of the lead developers behind Australia's first live .NET site - using a version that was pre Beta 1! One of his latest projects was the Smart Tag implementation for Quicken Australia. Adam was also responsible for developing Reporting Services and Exchange Server samples for Microsoft that turned into a hugely popular Exchange Reporting Tool. Adam develops in Microsoft technologies; his favorites being SQL Server 2005, Reporting Services, OLAP, Winforms and Webforms (using Visual Studio .NET 2005 with both VB.NET and C#), Access 2007, Outlook 2007/Exchange Server 2007. Adam is one of only three Microsoft Regional Directors in Australia. In this role, he regularly presents in conferences such as TechEd (USA, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia). A couple of times a year, he visits Microsoft headquarters in Seattle to learn the latest on Microsoft strategic directions and to undertake training in development technologies.
