I’ll be heading to Toronto in May to present at the DevTeach conference. I’ll be doing an intermediate (300) level talk about DQS, and an advanced (400 level) talk about developing custom extensions for SSIS (tasks, components, connection managers, and loggers).

Data Quality Services (DQS) – End to End
Microsoft’s SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS) is a unique solution that is based on the creation and maintenance of Data Quality Knowledge Bases (DQKB) and the ability to use them efficiently for a variety of Data Quality improvements. In this session we’ll walk the creation of a DQS solution, discuss the main concepts behind the creation of the DQKB, and how to use DQS in various scenarios and activities.

Developing Extensions for SSIS
This code heavy session walks you through the creation of a custom SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Task, and a custom Data Flow component. If you’ve ever thought of customizing SSIS functionality beyond what you can do with scripting, this talk is for you! All examples will be in coded in C#, and made available following the session.
