With SQL Saturday #80 being just 2 month away, a lot is happening behind the scenes. We have had a great response for the Call for Speakers with 36 sessions being considered for presentations (see below).
Volunteers are busy with the many tasks that go into making a great event. Everything from the registrations process, meals & snacks, giveaways, shirts, speaker accommodations, after party, etc. are being worked on.
As nerve wracking as the next 2 months are going to be, I am looking forward to the event.
Registration for the event is increasing each week and we are hoping that we surpass the attendance of last year.
Here is a list of submitted presentations. Please note that the Call for Speakers closes on June 16.
