After missing last year, SQL Saturday New York City is back in 2025. I’m excited to go to the event and honored to speak there. I love visiting New York and I’m looking forward to the trip, as is Mrs Way0utwest, who is coming along for a little vacation. Hopefully we’ll find a fun show to see Saturday night.

There is a precon this year from Andreas Wolter, longtime SQL Server Program Manager  at Microsoft. It’s on practical performance tuning and troubleshooting, and you can register and attend on Friday.

Saturday has a great schedule the includes a wide variety of topics. Data virtualization, Power BI, development in a 24/7 environment, Cost optimization, and of course, a lot of Fabric. I’ll be talking about the Data API Builder, which is a cool piece of tech to quickly get those CRUD apps going.

Pass the word, and come into the city on May 11 for a fun event. Register today and I’ll see you later this week.
