This is the second time this event has been in Chicago and I wasn’t able to go last year so I’m not totally sure what to expect.  However can’t argue with the lineup of speakers, so I’m fully expecting a good time. Register here.

SQLFriends is expanding!

Posted by on 2012/04/27 No comments

Today SQLFriends announced the first event outside of Chicago-land!  In the comments of my last post Mike Donnelly (blog | @SQLMD) asked if there was interested in expanding.  This was absolutely what was envisioned when I began and it is very exciting!  Mike and I exchanged emails and met up at SQLSaturday #118 in Madison which was also his first SQLSaturday presentation – congrats! If you missed it you can see him at the SQLSaturday #119 in Chicago.

Anyway, he was able to get Hell’s Kitchen (site | @HellsKitchenMN) as the venue and convince SQL Karaoker extraordinaire, Jason Strate (blog | @StrateSQL) to be the guest host!  Way to go Mike!

So if you’re going to be in Minneapolis on June 22, go sign up to hang out with your SQLFriends and Jason, but remember space is limited so Book Now!

Also there are still spots available for the SQLFriends lunch with Jason’s co-author Ted Krueger (blog | @onpnt).  So if you’re in Chicago-land on May 18th and not headed to a SQLSaturday #119 pre-con come out and have lunch with your SQLFriends and Ted – Book Now!
