November 25, 2014 - Good
news in Gotham! Well you asked for it! You
wanted it! You waited for it! And now it's finally here! It gives me great
pleasure to announce the return of SQL Saturday to New York City! Save the date,
May 30, 2015! Just yesterday in my
blog post SQLSaturday
Speaking and Sharing, I said I would have great news for you “real soon” –
did you think I meant today? SQLSaturday#380 is live
on the SQLSaturday.com website. This
extraordinary event is on its way, and this time it will be atop of the most exciting
spot in the world, at the new Microsoft headquarters in Times Square!! Yep, we’re
bringing SQL back, go tell all those speakers and sponsors where it’s at! May 30, 2015 Microsoft
HQ 11 Times Square, NY, NY
The call for speakers and sponsors is now
OFFICIALLY OPEN for SQLSaturday#380!
The news has already hit thousands of inboxes by now, as I
can tell – within mere minutes of announcement, we’ve gotten over 30
submissions for speaker presentations!
SQLSaturdayNYC like the Honda, it
sells itself! But that won’t stop me
from promoting it, living it, feeling it – can you feel it yet?
Winter is a long way
from over, but by time SQLSaturday#380
rolls around, the snow will be melted, the temperatures will rise, and spring
will be full in bloom! It will be a
GREAT time to visit the city and tour Times Square!
We’ve been working behind the scenes, the League of Shadows,
if you will, to bring this all new fantastical event back to the Big
Apple. Now that we have a new leader of
the NJSSUG (New Jersey SQL Server User’s
Group) – Batman no longer has to don his cape and cowl alone! James Phillips now leads the NJSSUG (he’s not
just anothersqlgeek 🙂 and we will be partnering along with our merry band of
SQL Server selectables with thanks to everyone’s effort to put us back on the
map! Our latest SQLSaturday core teams,
both new and old are: Robert
Pearl (me), James
Phillips, Simon Facer,
Erik Darling, Karla
Landrum, Alec Lazarescu
and Michael Wells. We
will need more volunteers, so put your names in that hat! James has his blog announcement up as well here.
We hope to see you all there! Start planning those itineraries now! And don’t forget to REGISTER for the event as early and as soon as possible
– New York always sells out! – You don’t want to be waiting in line!
