The next edition of the SQL in the City broadcast is coming Feb 28, and I’m planning travel now to head back to the UK for the event. The schedule is up on the Redgate Hub Livestream page.
This edition has lots more GDPR/security/masking content as well as updates on the new products.
Mark the date on your calendar, let your boss know it’s a training day, and get some friends together to join us for the day.
I’m done. No more trips (and no more time) to hit any events this year. As I wrote recently, I’m doing less in 2018, so this review might be quite short next year.
In any case, I thought I’d look back at how speaking went in 2017. I have a speaking CV where I track all my events, so I can get the numbers easily from there. By the numbers, 2017 was:
Overall a long year for me. Those 18 events resulted in a lot of trips and about 80 nights in hotels. I had some work engagements as well, but most trips involved speaking somewhere.
I am saddened that I didn’t present at any user groups this year, which is something that hasn’t happened in awhile. Hopefully I’ll do better next year at getting to a few user groups.
One thing here is that I discounted some of the Redgate DevOps webinars that we do monthly. I probably did 5 or 6 of those, but I’m not really presenting in most of these, mostly hosting, so I left those out.
Oh, and 1 Habitat for Humanity talk to add to this list 
It’s one week to SQL in the City 2017, once again streamed. I’ll be traveling this weekend to the Redgate office and getting setup. After two days of rehearsing, I’ll be ready for the live broadcast Dec 13.
Here’s a quick promo video as well:
Once again, we’ll be covering a number of topics that you will be interested in such as code analysis, performance counters, Database DevOps, and more. Perhaps a topic that most of us need to learn more about is data protection and privacy. We’ll have a bit to discuss here as well. This is a topic that is important for us as GDPR will take effect in 2018 and will impact us, as well as many of you.
You can see the full schedule, which is going to be broadcast twice. A lunch show for Europe and an evening show (for me) for the afternoon in the US. We’ll be live both times, so tune in and bring your
A long day for me, though I hope to get out to the gym between the shows. We’ll see as I’m sure I’ll have a few meetings with product groups as well.
Register today and I’ll see you online next week. Brings lots of questions and we’ll do our best to give you the answers you need to improve your database development.
It’s almost time for SQL in the City 2017, coming Dec 13, live from Cambridge, UK. I’ll be traveling over to England for the event, and you can stream it to your office live. Once again, we’ll be presenting the conference twice, 11am and 6pm (both GMT), and you can pick the times that work best for you.
We’ve got a variety of sessions scheduled, and you can tune in to ask questions live, which we’ll try to answer. The full schedule is on the site, but here’s a few sessions you may want to fit in:
We’ve been working hard at Redgate to improve our tools and build new ones that will need the needs that many organizations will have as GDPR takes effect next year. And, as always, we’re trying to save developer time with all our tools.
Take a training day to learn a bit about privacy, security, DevOps, code analysis and more. We’ll show how Redgate can help solve some of your issues along with plenty of good general information.
Hope to see you online, Dec 13.
