SQLSaturday #362 – Austin, TX – Let’s Get Weird

I used to spend the 4th of July weekend (or week) in Austin with some buddy’s when we were in our 20s. There was so much to do and enjoy while there it is exciting to go back to this great city. Not only that, but there are some really good SQL Server experts and community organizers in that city – John Sterrett, Jim Murphy, SQLServerIO (Wes Brown – hope he is there), AJ Mendo and more. Catching up with these people will be refreshing.

The event is on Jan31st at Wingate by Wyndham Round Rock Hotel and Conference Center 1209 N IH 35, Round Rock, TX 78664

 

THIS YEAR THERE ARE 2 OFFICIAL SQL SATURDAY PRECON'S ON FRIDAY JANUARY 30th, 2015. TICKETS WILL SELL OUT QUICKLY SO MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER TO SPEND THE DAY WITH SOME OF SQL SERVER'S GREATS!
