Rob Farley is not your average speaker. Sure, he's an MCM, MCT, and MVP (since 2006). Sure, he runs a Gold Partner consultancy (LobsterPot Solutions in Australia) with two other Data Platform MVPs on the team. Sure he's written books and heads up the Adelaide SQL Server User Group. Sure, he's spent time on the PASS board and on the Australian Computer Society executive. But when Rob gives presentations he does so without slides - just demos - and challenges how you think about data. You can read some of Rob's work at sqlblog.com, or at sqlperformance.com, or catch him on Twitter at @rob_farley.
