Presenting to VanPASSBI in August

Via Donabel Santos (blog|twitter) "Join us for a morning of just pure SSIS fun!"  I'm not so sure that's accurate - unless you use Integration Services a lot :)
I'll be at the Vancouver BI PASS chapter meeting on August 6th, presenting "In Depth with the SSIS Script Task."  Basically - everything you'd ever want to know about what you can do in the Script Task, and how to go about doing it.  Here's the abstract:
The Script Task is the Swiss Army knife of Integration Services process orchestration. It’s rare to be able to construct a real-world ETL solution with only the tools provided with the built-in SSIS tasks. When no task in the toolbox can accomplish what you need, then the Script Task is a powerful alternative. Scripts have easy access to SSIS variables and connections, and have the full power of the .Net Framework behind them. But scripting in Integration Services isn’t all unicorns and rainbows. Knowledge of C# or VB.Net is essential even for very basic operations, and restrictions placed on the Script for the privilege of operating within the SSIS control flow must be understood. Find out how to get results quickly with the Script Task, focusing on common problems it’s being used to solve in the real world.
I hope to see you at Sierra Systems (25th floor - 1177 W. Hastings) around 9am for general chit-chat.  If you can't make it in person, it will be broadcast live (and recorded).
