The Midlands SQL Server User Group
Do you use Microsoft SQL Server databases? Whether you’re SQL-curious or a hardened SQL guru, come along to the next Midlands SQL Server User Group.
We normally hold meetings every other month, after work at The Briar Rose Pub/Hotel in central Birmingham usually on a Thursday. It's an informal gathering of like minded people, with a couple of speakers presenting tips, techniques and information on old, new and upcoming technology. We like to get a mixture of world leading speakers as well as providing an opportunity for our members to present.
We tailor the speakers and sessions to your requests so if you have any specific topics that you want to go through, then come along and let us know.
We're part of the UK SQL Server community at www.sqlserverfaq.com and we're an official PASS chapter (the Professional Association for SQL Server) covering the Midlands in the UK.
Register your free place at our next event at www.sqlserverfaq.com.
