Interesting thread to kickoff binboy. In this time of downturn, I'm guessing that more people will do some sort of training. I understand that MBA enrollments are looking very healthy this year.

I think that the courses held locally by the Kimball people deserve serious consideration for anyone interested in the organisation and structuring of data ( = knowledge).

Here are the courses coming in 2009:

Dimensional Modeling in Depth
Mar 17-20 Sydney

ETL Architecture in Depth
Mar 23-26 Sydney

More details at Kimball University

ps. I'm a fan not an employee of Kimball.
