First Timers

Going to a new event can be intimidating, we get it. We try hard to make everyone feel welcome! Just check in between 8 and 9 am, get your badge and raffle tickets, visit the sponsors, get some coffee, then pick a session and go. If the session is full or just not quite what you wanted, just quietly leave the room and drop into one of the other concurrent ones.

Tell/Bring a Colleague

If you are attending why not take a minute to let those you work with know about the event and invite them to go with you? Always more fun to go as a team and shared learning is a great way to get ideas moving back at the office.

Sponsors

We also have great sponsors that helped us cover the costs of putting together this free event. Come visit with them to learn about what they do and maybe win a prize at the end of the day. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, visit the SQL Saturday Boston Sponsor Plan.
