I decided to cut down on travel expenses last year, and tried to primarily speak at conferences that were somewhat local to me, or at least within a few hours drive. This worked out pretty well, as I only flew to 3 conferences and got to attend a few more local events as a result. I plan to continue this trend in 2019.  Also, since I&#8217;ve been traveling more with my job, I decided to limit myself to 6 speaking events, which is something else that I plan to continue in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sqlnuggets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/music-city-data.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-752\" width=\"231\" height=\"114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sqlnuggets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/music-city-data.png 525w, https:\/\/sqlnuggets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/music-city-data-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that was new for me in 2018 was helping to plan the Music City Data conference.

Music City Data turned out to be a great conference, and I consider myself fortunate to have had a chance to see how it is put together and what all is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for 2019, I&#8217;m still planning on keeping to a lighter speaking schedule.  I typically try to speak at one or two new conferences each year, so I&#8217;ll probably keep that up, although my list of &#8220;old favorites&#8221; is growing each year. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 was a good year for my conference speaking schedule, I spoke at some new events as well as some of my old favorites.
