First session I have seen on Runbooks and Azure Data Studio by Rob Sewell this morning. I really loved seeing the power that runbooks can bring to the table. Seems like a perfect solution for a lot of documentation to share with others. Now I need to take the time to learn more about them and see what we can do with them. They look so power.
There were several sessions I enjoyed. Unfortunately, some sessions I wanted to see I could not due to conflicts. One session that I was not interested in was Grant's session on DevOps, but found it good.
In these strange times having an opportunity to enjoy a conference makes life seem a little more normal, thank you Redgate, and most importantly the amazing contributors
If I had to pick one, I'd choose the "SQL Notebooks in Azure Data Studio for the DBA" session because it might have the most immediate impact for me. I've been slowly kinda-sorta switching over to ADS from SSMS, but I think this may push me over to using ADS fulltime. Other great sessions I was able to attend:

Thanks for your feedback. Here's the link to the sessions from day one and day two on-demand and you'll be able to catch up with any other sessions from today using the link you used to watch Grant's session.
It's a small detail, but I love Andy's SSMS tip about including the query text in the results. I've had to reproduce results in the past (in an audit environment) and had no idea exactly how I got them because I didn't save the query. I also liked the results on a separate tab tip -- I hadn't thought of that being handy for presentations.
I've been so heads down with development and managing servers for a long time. The last 3 days has been great learning some new things. Thanks for putting this together. Andy had some great shortcut tips I'll be using from now on. We are moving into more Dev Ops so Grant's sessions were very helpful.
Loved Grant's session on XE; 10 out of 10 for enthusiasm if nothing else. I've been dipping my toes into XE, but definitely going to dive in headfirst now.

Yay! If you have questions, you know where the find me.
I enjoyed the data masking session by Chris. Great content and good discussion. It was awesome that he answered my questions immediately. Thank you Chris.
I also enjoyed the Git session by Kentra. So much content, I have to watch it 3 times to completely absorb it. Great session Kendra and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Today I really enjoyed SQL Notebooks w/ Rob Sewell as well as the post-talk discussion. This is my first conference and really enjoying the round table discussions!
Learn to effectively use Extended Events Was great, I am still dragging my feet getting into Extended Events and 2 hours after this session I actually used them to look at an issue in our environment.
All of these sessions have been very good. It's hard to pick a favorite. I've enjoyed the panels. But for the regular sessions, I think my favorites have been Kendra's Git presentation from Day 1, Grant's SQL Injection preso from Day 2, and Rob's Day 3 preso on ADS Notebooks. Plus, all of the hats and outfits have been fantastic!
I liked nearly all of the presentations, but Rob Sewell's on Azure Data Notebooks was my favorite this time because I'm starting to work with Azure Data Notebooks now.

Extended events and SQL Notebooks were useful and the others were eye openers

Great job Andy!
Favorite was: Use Git for database code - Kendra Little
But Andy Mallon had some cool tricks that everyone should be able to use regardless of role / skills
