# SQL PASS Organization

SQL PASS ([http://www.sqlpass.org/](https://www.pass.org/) ) is an user group organization of SQL and database administrators dedicated to training others and sharing information.

- They do a SQL Saturday which is a free event all around the country and the world. I have gone several times and enjoyed it, even though I'm not a heavy SQL admin.
- There is another free event called [24 Hours of PASS](https://www.pass.org/AttendanEvent/OnlineEvents/24HoursofPASS.aspx) , a free set of online/remote hour-long seminars
- They also have local user groups and an online user group that does free online training/seminars too. See the [PASS Training area.](https://www.pass.org/AboutPASS/PASSNews/tabid/15340/ArtMID/23897/ArticleID/538/Default.aspx)

If you are interested in SQL, databases, or social networking events, this is one I'd recommend.

A few additional notes:

1. Here is an intro video training on [SQL Server Reporting Services "SSRS 101"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au9UHcYstto&feature=youtu.be) . The guts of the session begins around 7m, 20s.
2. This link supplied by one of our customers and friends down at Johns Hopkins. Thank you! [Channel 9: Videos for Microsoft Products & Services](https://channel9.msdn.com/)
