Starting tonight PASS (Professional Association for SQL Server) will begin broadcasting webcasts for 24 hours straight.  These webcasts include many topics, however, I am most interested in those surrounding SQL Server Maintenance and Business Intelligence.  As of now I plan on attending at least 11 of these sessions (more depending on my ability to keep my eyes open!) which start tonight (9/1) and run every hour until the conclusion tomorrow night (9/2).  Here is a list of all the webcasts and topics.

Throughout the next 24 hours I will be blogging with updates on the webinars, my opinions of the content, as well as anything else that I can think of while participating in this 24 hour event!
