{Start Circus bumper music here}  LADIES and GENTLEMEN; SQL SERVER

PROFESSIONALS of ALL AGES, Come one, come all! 

Get ready for a sizzling, stupendous, spectacular, super SQLSaturday special

event!  You waited, you asked, you

pleaded, when will New York host another SQLSaturday again! We wait no more, we

ask no more, and stop pleading will you?  On August 17, 2013 – save the

date – prepare to be amazed as folks from all over the planet descend to our

fair city to partake in a grand helping of learning, lunching and laughing with

colleagues, friends, and sqlfamily.  Announcing

(well you might’ve heard already) SQLSaturday #235!

The site is now live, so for more details please visit our event page.  So, as of yesterday, the CALL FOR SPEAKERS & SPONSORS is now

officially open!!  Please submit your

sessions by clicking on the highlighted “speakers” link.  Any companies interested in sponsoring our

extraordinary event, click on the highlighted “sponsors” link.  Any and all inquiries about the event should

be sent to sqlsaturday235@sqlsaturday.com

.

If there is any doubt how wonderful this event is going to

be, we have received numerous emails day one, and over 30 speaker submissions

already before this blog was published! 

We expect true quality learning from our favorite SQL Server superstars

including, MVPs, MCMs, PFEs and other subject matter experts.   We expect over 350+ attendees (let’s make it

even more), over a dozen sponsors of our preferred vendors, and grandiose

giveaways and superbulous SWAG (I

made that word up 🙂

This great day of everything SQL will offer a chance to network

with so many attendees, and learn from the best experts in the field, with

multiple tracks of technical training and professional education.  Nowhere in the world except for SQLSaturday

NYC can you get such valuable instruction in one day, and literally an

opportunity to change the course of your career forever! 

So what better way to spend a summer day in one of the

largest venues around than to take a trip to NYC, and be with us for a

fun-filled Big Apple style SQL Server event that is worth every penny that you’ll

spend here – FREE!  (A ride on the subway

will cost you more! 🙂

So, if you’re wondering who’s running the show this time

around, well Pearl Knows!  It takes a team, and that team is led by NJ SQL User Group Chief, John Dempsey, and our tag team of

terrific talent returns to bring us SQLSaturdayNYC 2013!   For

honorable mention, the peeps behind the scenes, our core inner circle comprises

of Alec A. Lazarescu, Natasha Gupta, and Deborah Takash.  They all did such a fantastic job last year,

they’re back to do it again!  Don’t

worry, if you want to get involved, there will be plenty opportunity for you to

step forward and volunteer!  If

interested, contact us at the email above.

Also, providing advisory support is SQLDiva Melissa Demsak, who recently

stepped down from the NJSQL User Group, but still very much involved in our

strategy.  And as she does with all

SQLSaturdays, providing tactical air support all the way from Florida, is PASS

Community Evangelist, Karla Landrum.
