SQL Cardiff dates announced
This year we’ll be continuing to maintain evening events on Tuesday nights and lunch time events on Thursdays.
Evening events
So far we have the following events and speakers scheduled for the evening events:
- Jan 27th – 2 hour intro to replication by David Williams
- Mar 31st – Battle of the Beards! Tobiasz Koprowski vs Terry McCann vs Rob Sewell
- May 26th – Index Fragmentation: Internals, Analysis, and Solutions by Paul Randal, and Steve Powell
- Jul 28th
Alex Whittles on winning Fantasy F1 using PowerPivot
I’ve got slots in there for full hour sessions as well as lightning talks for up to half an hour long so whether you’re an existing speaker or want to improve your knowledge, please get in touch and book yourself in.
Lunches
Our lunch time sessions where the user group teaches the user group have been going fantastically.
At the moment, the weekly change in topic is being retained so that we cover:
- Development
- Business Intelligence
- Database Administration
- SQL language fundamentals
With attendance varying from 5 to 15 people, these are shorter and more informal sessions that provide a fantastic opportunity to focus your knowledge on a topic and help your current and future colleagues. Each person who delivers a session will get a 1-month free Pluralsight subscription so that by giving you get a lot back. One of our members is using the language fundamentals as verification for his Microsoft certification and reason to keep studying, which is really helping him out.
If you want to talk at one of lunch events – again let me know!
