Saturday 14th June is our official SQLSaturday free event day, we are nearly full so please make sure you register as soon as possible here.
Based on feedback from our previous successful event in 2013, the SQLSaturday Edinburgh team decided to dedicate the Saturday free Community day to the Microsoft Data Platform including SQL Server 2014, Business Intelligence, Business Analytics, Data Visualisation and Big Data Analytics. We are asking for a £5 contribution for lunch but you are welcome to bring your own lunch, of course. The Saturday is a free community day that will focus on business intelligence, and the sessions are aimed at information workers, data stewards, data professionals, Business Intelligence professionals and Business Analytics professionals.
Register now because places are limited but passion for data is not! We believe that professionals will really appreciate a Business Intelligence community dedicated free Saturday event plus a reasonably-priced training on Friday 13th June. We look forward to sharing our day with people who are as passionate about data topics as we are.
