Introduction
SQL Saturdays continue to grow in popularity and the franchise recently changed hands. Recently, I interviewed Andy Warren (Blog – @sqlAndy) about the growth of SQL Saturday, the impact of the franchise on the SQL Server community, and more.
SQL Saturday #33 – Charlotte, NC
The next SQL Saturday is SQL Saturday #33 in Charlotte, NC! My friend Peter Shire (@Peter_Shire) and crew have put together a lineup of stellar speakers – plus me!
From Peter and the Organizers of SQL Saturday #33:
There hasn’t been an event like this on the East Coast in 5-6 years. The quality of speakers and content in only surpassed at SQL PASS in Seattle. So if you want to meet, and learn from the SQL Community leading experts such as Andrew Kelly, Rick Heiges, Aaron Bertrand, John Welch, Denny Cherry, Geoff Hiten, Andy Warren, Jessica M. Moss, Rafael Salas, Sergey Pustovit, and Tim Ford without the expense of a cross country airfare then you should be here.
SQLSaturday is a training event for SQL Server professionals and those wanting to learn about SQL Server.
